Rome is unparalleled as an architectural timeline: the Pantheon (125 AD) sits minutes from Bernini's Baroque piazzas, which neighbour Mussolini-era rationalist buildings, which neighbour Renzo Piano's contemporary Auditorium. No city on Earth layers 2,700 years of architectural history with such density and such continuity of use.
