Where exactly is it?

Rome's antipode sits at 41.90°S, 167.50°W, in the southern hemisphere, west of Greenwich. That places it in or near the Pacific Ocean.

It lies roughly 20,015 km from Rome — about as far apart as two points on Earth can possibly be. And the relationship is symmetric: the antipode of that spot is, of course, right back here in Rome.

What's actually there?

Rome's antipode falls over open water, in or near the Pacific Ocean — water covers about 71% of the globe, so antipodal land pairs are rare. The nearest named place is Forty-Fours, a small island in New Zealand, roughly 715 km away.
