This image, featuring Rome, Italy, was acquired by the Pléiades Neo mission, a very high-resolution optical constellation.

Known as the Eternal City, Rome lies on the banks of the Tiber River, the third longest river in Italy. The Tiber can be seen snaking its way through the city. The color of the river water, owing to the sandy and silty riverbed, is why the Tiber is sometimes known as the ‘blond river’.
Rome, the capital city of Italy, is an ancient metropolis steeped in rich history and brimming with cultural treasures. Founded in 753 BC, it is often referred to as the “Eternal City” and played a pivotal role as the center of the Roman Empire. Rome’s historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasting countless architectural marvels, including the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon.
A little further north on the other side of the river, we can see the sovereign state of Vatican City, with St. Peter’s Basilica and its famous square. The star-shaped Castel St. Angelo is also visible nearby. It was the tomb of Emperor Hadrian, but later served as a fortress.
