Archaeological Sites

The Roman Forum (or Foro Romano) was the commercial, political, administrative, judicial, and religious center of Ancient Rome. And the Palatine Hill, one of the 7 hills of the Italian capital, was the place chosen by the Roman emperors to install their palaces. Dozens of houses and monuments were built in a 2-hectare area, in addition to other buildings and public structures. And, nowadays, these ruins make the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill one of the largest archaeological complexes in Europe!

The Colosseum (or Flavian Amphitheater) is the most visited monument in Italy and a true icon of this country. Elected one of the “New 7 Wonders of the World”, this oval amphitheater is also a masterpiece of architecture and a symbol of the Roman Empire. The Colosseum was built in the 1st century AD, to host great public shows (such as gladiator games and animal hunts). Located in the largest archaeological complex of Ancient Rome, it’s still the largest amphitheater in the world!
