I Love Touring Rome, Italy - University La Sapienza District Hotels

The University of Rome "La Sapienza", is located in a eastern Rome. This is the largest university in all Europe serving more than 140 thousand students. It was founded in 1303 but many of the present buildings were constructed in the early 1930s. As you might well guess, the neighboring San Lorenzo district has quite an animated nightlife. One of the area's imposing sights is the Castra Pretorio that was built almost 2 thousand years ago at the edge of Rome. After serving as military barracks it became the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale (National Library). Make sure that you see the Arch of Sixtus V and the Church of San Lorenzo fuori Le Mura which gives its name to the district.
