Gillian Knows Best guide to offbeat Roman sites and special places

6 places in Rome you might not know about

Rome is just ridiculously full of wonderful things to see (and do and eat.) I have things that I return to over and over and over again. I also have a running list on my phone and in an Instagram saved folder that is always getting things added to it. So far this year I finally visited the monumental Studio Olimpico and a sweet cloister filled with frescoes and cats next to Santa Maria sopra Minvera.

Once you have hit the superstars like the Colosseum and the Fontana di Trevi seek out a few of these lesser known treasures that Rome has to offer.
