Rick Steves’ Europe Season 12 showcases Europe’s great art and architecture. © 2024 | With its vast empire, ancient Rome gave Europe its first common culture. From England to Turkey, we explore the greatest Roman cities, marveling at their overthetop art, soaring aqueducts, and crowdpleasing theaters. As Rome fell, saints replaced Caesars and Christianity filled the vacuum with artfilled churches — preserving the grandeur of imperial Rome and inspiring the Europe to come. #ricksteveseurope #artofeurope #arthistory
