Rome is the city were I lived this past 7 monts, and it was amazing. I spent a lot of time gathering information since its history and architecture are overwhelming. This map focuses on the city center. Anything interesting in terms of architecture is here. If you find any mistakes, or have any suggestions please let me know. My intention is to keep it useful. Hope you enjoy!

Dear Virginia,
thank a lot. You wouldn`t believe it but I actually plan a trip to Rome in coming November. As I am living in the coutryside I use to celebrate my birthday always in a city. Last time I have been to Dublin. That was great. Next time I will go to Rome. Thank you very much for your download, a GREAT help.

Muy buen trabajo, aunque creo que bastantes elementos de la lista necesitan todavía revisión -lo de ver a Vitruvio como arquitecto del Foro Romano no tiene perdón-. Por otro lado, y esto es sólo una apreciación personal, creo que la guía ganaría mucho si, en vez de ser una sucesión indefinida de texto, todos los edificios o al menos los más importantes tuvieran una descripción gráfica (una pequeña imagen, una planta, etc.). Entiendo que eso aumentaría considerablemente el tamaño de la guía y quizá por eso lo has desestimado.

Hola Pedro,
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leer la guía. Aunque hago los mapas con todo el cuidado del mundo, siempre se me escapa algún error. Desde faltas de ortografía hasta errores en los años o los arquitectos. Aunque esté puesto de manera lineal, cambio las filas de orden 20 veces y entre que lo cambio en Google, en el PDF y en la bibliografía siempre se cuela alguna cosa de estas. Si ves otra errata dime y lo cambio.
Por otra parte, lo de la imagen está en proceso. Pero sólo en la guía de Chicago. He optado por hacer un boceto del edificio en vez de incluir una foto. Así no se revela inmediatamente el aspecto físico pero hace que te hagas una idea de como es. ¿Qué opinas?
Si se te ocurre cualquier otra cosa dime, gran parte de las mejoras de las guías es gracias a la gente que me da buenas ideas 🙂

Me parece una idea bastante buena lo de los bocetos, o iconos, o símbolos que den una idea general del edificio sin desvelarlo, como tú dices. Aunque entiendo que tendría bastante curro.
En cuanto a errores en la guía, hay uno que me extraña y es la inclusión del Circo Máximo en la Zona 2 cuando por ejemplo el Teatro Marcello, que está más al norte, viene incluido en la Zona 1.

I apologize for my late reply. I went through a really hectic period and I didn’t had time for anything.
Please accept my apologies.
Yes, that was the first time I visited Rome and your map was very useful to us.
We used it on several occasions to inform us more detailed on different architectural objectives.
Regarding your question…. I didn’t find any mistakes 🙂

Is there going to be any printed version of it in the future?
As a future architecture erasmus student, I’m heading to Rome in a couple of weeks and thought this would be a very amazing resource of information.
