The Journey

1

Colosseum

Step back in time at the Colosseum, ancient Rome's magnificent amphitheater. Imagine the roar of the crowds as gladiators clashed and wild beasts roamed the arena floor. Marvel at the architectural genius that allowed over 50,000 spectators to witness these epic spectacles. Explore the underground chambers where gladiators and animals awaited their fate, and learn about the Colosseum's transformation through centuries of history, from gladiatorial contests to public executions and even housing. Witness firsthand the grandeur and brutality of Rome's most iconic landmark.

2

Roman Forum

Wander through the Roman Forum, the vibrant heart of ancient Rome. Discover the ruins of temples dedicated to Roman gods, the remains of basilicas where law and commerce thrived, and the Senate House where emperors shaped the course of history. Walk along the Via Sacra, the sacred road once trod by triumphant generals and religious processions. Picture the bustling marketplace, the impassioned political debates, and the everyday life of ancient Roman citizens. The Forum is not just a collection of ruins; it's a portal into the soul of a civilization.

3

Palatine Hill

Ascend Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome and one of its seven hills, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. Explore the sprawling ruins of imperial palaces, including the opulent Domus Augustana and Domus Flavia, where emperors like Augustus resided and ruled. Wander through the lush Farnese Gardens, created in the 16th century atop the imperial ruins, and discover ancient temples dedicated to gods and goddesses. Immerse yourself in the myth and history of Romulus and Remus, who are said to have been raised by a she-wolf on this very hill. Palatine Hill provides not only stunning views but also a profound connection to the origins of Western civilization.
