By far my favourite individual site in Rome is the Pantheon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome). This is the oldest complete building in Rome, and was built 125AD as a temple to "all the gods", but is now consecrated as a Catholic church.
The building has to be seen to be believed, I cannot describe the feeling you get when you first walk in, or the sheer size of the place. Photos give you no idea of scale or atmosphere. It is so amazing I had to revisit it again to really try and take it all in.
Here are a few attempts of photographing the inside, and more successfully the outside.
