Is There a Pyramid in Rome?

Question

I have come across information that states there is a pyramid structure in Rome. Is this the case and is it possible to visit the site?

Answer 1

Indeed, Rome is home to the pyramid of Cestius built around 18-12 BC and used as a tomb for Gaius Cestius. Looks like there was an inclination for Romans to seek new places for their eminent men, and that new inclination was to Rome. Rome in reality constructed two pyramids and the other one, Meta Romuli, reached the 16th century only in ruins. In the list of mausoleums and crypts in Rome, the pyramid of Cestius occupies a prominent place.
