Abstract

The history of Rome is linked to its role as a goal for travellers who visit it as pilgrims, as tourists, or to admire its monuments and art works. This article examines the different stages of this process, from its origins in Classical Antiquity till the present, looking at the relation between the tourist phenomenon and architectural heritage. If heritage has been a fundaniental factor in the historical development of tourism, it is also true that tourism has shaped to a considerable extent the way in which ancient monuments have been preserved and restored. Rome would be very different today if it had not been one of tourism's prime destinations for centuries. If this has put its artistic heritage at risk, it has also proved a source of income for the city and of resources for its preservation.
