Foro Romano

The Roman Forum was the center of political, social, and commercial life in ancient Rome. Visitors can walk through the ruins of this once bustling hub and imagine the grandeur and activity that took place there. The Palatine Hill is famous for its association with Roman emperors. Explore the ruins of opulent palaces, including the Domus Augustana and the House of Livia, which provide insights into the luxurious lifestyles of the Roman elite. The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are part of the same archaeological complex, and a combined ticket allows access to both sites. Exploring these sites together provides a comprehensive experience of ancient Rome, immersing you in the grandeur of the Roman Empire and its rich history.

Palatine Hill

The Palatine is one of the seven hills included in the original city’s plan. Next to the Roman Forum, the Capitoline Hill, the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum, it is located in the very middle of ancient Rome’s city, political and business life. It stands at approximately 50 meters above the ground, and, today, with its peaceful atmosphere, rich in history, but surrounded by nature, it feels like a rare oasis in the midst of one of the busiest capitals of Europe.
