Why Buy Property in Rome’s Historic Centre
Rome’s historic centre is one of the world’s most extraordinary addresses. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it preserves twenty-five centuries of continuous civilisation: Renaissance palaces, Baroque churches, ancient monuments, and daily life that unfolds among the most celebrated piazzas on earth.
Properties in the Historic Centre span the most prestigious addresses: Via Giulia, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Campo de’ Fiori, Piazza di Spagna, and Via dei Condotti. They range from intimate pied-à-terre in medieval towers to grand apartments of 300 sqm and more in noble palaces, many featuring original frescoes, coffered ceilings, and 15th and 16th century architectural details.
Class & Country Homes is headquartered in Palazzo Ricci on Via Giulia — one of Rome’s most celebrated Renaissance streets — and boasts unparalleled knowledge of this market. For over six decades, we have facilitated transactions in the Historic Centre, building a network that provides access to off-market opportunities rarely available through other channels.
