We're starting a new series called "Off the Beaten Path." This is our first episode of the series and we're talking about the pyramid of Cestius in Rome. If you've been to Rome, you might have seen it and wondered why there's a pyramid in the middle of the city. Well, wonder no longer! We'll also briefly talk about the cemetery for non-Catholics in Rome and where the steps of the Vatican came from.

To see when the pyramid of Cestius is open to the public:https://soprintendenzaspecialeroma.it/luoghi/piramide-di-caio-cestio/.

If you're looking for a hotel in Rome, here are three of our recommendations:

Palazzo Cardinal Cesi (near the Vatican): Expedia | Booking

Trastevere Roma | UNA Esperienze (in the Trastevere neighborhood): Expedia | Booking

Palazzo Montemartini Rome (near Termini train station): Expedia | Booking
