1. Capitoline Hill (Campidoglio): The Birthplace of Rome’s Power

Your journey begins at the Capitoline Hill, one of Rome’s legendary seven hills and the very heart of ancient political and religious life. Designed by Michelangelo, Piazza del Campidoglio offers breath-taking views and houses the Capitoline Museums, home to iconic sculptures like the Capitoline Shewolf. From the terrace behind the piazza, admire a spectacular panoramic view of the Roman Forum, your next destination.

2. Roman Forum: Walking Through the Heart of an Empire

Descend towards the Roman Forum, once the bustling center of Roman public life. Walk along the Via Sacra, the sacred road that saw triumphal processions of victorious generals and emperors. As you explore, imagine the vibrant atmosphere of ancient Rome, where political debates echoed through the Senate House (Curia Julia) and merchants traded goods in lively markets. Highlights include:
  • The Arch of Septimius Severus, a triumphal arch celebrating Roman military victories.
  • The Temple of Saturn, home to Rome’s state treasury.
  • The House of the Vestal Virgins, where priestesses kept the sacred flame of Rome burning.

3. The Arch of Titus: Gateway to the Colosseum

Exiting the Forum, you’ll pass beneath the Arch of Titus, an iconic monument commemorating the Roman conquest of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Its intricate reliefs depict the victorious procession carrying spoils from the Temple of Jerusalem, including the famous menorah.

4. The Colosseum: Rome’s Legendary Arena

Your final stop is the Colosseum, the most famous amphitheatre in history. Step into the world of gladiators, emperors, and roaring crowds. Built in 80 AD, this grand structure could hold up to 50,000 spectators, who gathered to witness epic battles, animal hunts, and dramatic performances. Explore its underground hypogeum, where warriors and wild beasts awaited their fate, and imagine the thunderous applause as a victorious gladiator raised his sword.
