We can say about this city without the slightest exaggeration - it was, is and will be; paraphrasing the famous song - was, is and will remain Eternal. To the one who found himself in this city, a panorama of world history opens from ancient times to the present day: hills that have seen a republic, which modern democracies are equal to; palaces and temples are the legacy of the greatest empire in the history of mankind; catacombs of early Christians, churches and cathedrals that glorified the Christian religion for centuries; monuments of the New Time and signs of today - neon flashes of advertising, modernist architectural projects, car "traffic jams" on congested streets.
