Description
A visit to the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill is a must for anyone visiting Rome. At the Colosseum, you can marvel at the impressive engineering of the largest amphitheater ever built and learn about the gladiator contests, animal hunts, and mock sea battles that once took place within its walls. The Roman Forum, located just a short walk from the Colosseum, was the center of ancient Rome's political, social, and commercial life. You can explore the ruins of this once-great center of ancient civilization and imagine what life was like for the Romans who walked these streets. The Palatine Hill is the most famous of Rome's seven hills and is located adjacent to the Roman Forum. This is where, according to legend, Romulus founded the city of Rome. Visitors can explore the ruins of the ancient imperial palace and other ancient monuments while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding city.
