About the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill
After visiting the Colosseum, your guide will lead you through other two remarkable areas to understand the unique past of the city: the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill.
The Roman Forum, located in the heart of ancient Rome, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome. The Forum’s architecture and layout reflect the grandeur and power of the Roman Empire, with impressive temples, basilicas, and government buildings lining its pathways.
As backdrop to the Forum stands the Palatine Hill, the most central of Rome’s Seven Hills, where according to legend, Romulus founded the city. The hill is home to impressive ruins that marvel travelers from around the globe and continues to shrink visitors’ hearts as they wander through this unique urban landscape that was once home to the official residence of ancient Rome’s emperors.

4. Roman Forum
Walking through the Roman Forum, you may have the feeling that an earthquake just shook the foundations of ancient Rome. This used to be the heart of ancient Rome political and institutional life, which set the basis for Western modern democracies.
5. Palatine Hill
This is the actual spot where the history of Rome began. According to the legend, it is in this hill where Remus and Romulus were fed as babies by the capitoline wolf, and where later Romulus founded the city in the year 750 BC. Not only Romulus, but then many great emperors built their houses on this hill in the center of Rome, where we can still appreciate their remains.
