The Journey
The Colosseum
Step into the Colosseum, Rome's iconic amphitheater, a testament to the might of the Roman Empire. Constructed nearly 2000 years ago, this architectural marvel once hosted gladiatorial combats and public spectacles, entertaining up to 80,000 spectators. Explore its weathered façade, imagine the roar of the crowds, and feel the echoes of history in this enduring symbol of ancient Rome.
Circus Maximus
Visit the Circus Maximus, an ancient chariot racing stadium, which was the largest sporting venue in the ancient world. Picture up to 150,000 spectators cheering on their favorite teams as charioteers raced around the track. Though largely in ruins today, its vast open space still hints at the grandeur and excitement that once defined Roman entertainment.
Mouth of Truth
Test your honesty at the Mouth of Truth (Bocca della Verità), an ancient marble mask with a legendary reputation. According to myth, the mouth will bite the hand of anyone who tells a lie while their hand is inside. Featured in the film 'Roman Holiday', this iconic sculpture is a fun and quirky stop that combines history, superstition, and cinematic charm.
Temple of Hercules Victor
Admire the Temple of Hercules Victor, one of Rome's oldest surviving marble temples. This beautifully preserved circular temple, dating back to the 2nd century BCE, showcases the influence of Greek architecture on Roman design. Dedicated to Hercules, the demigod of strength and protection, it offers a glimpse into the religious practices of ancient Rome.
Theater of Marcellus
Explore the ruins of the Theater of Marcellus, a grand entertainment venue built during the reign of Emperor Augustus. Envision the theatrical performances and concerts that once captivated Roman audiences in this open-air structure. Although partially integrated into later buildings, its remains offer a fascinating look at Roman engineering and cultural life.
Piazza Venezia
Experience the vibrant energy of Piazza Venezia, Rome's central hub. Admire the imposing Vittorio Emanuele II Monument (Altare della Patria), a symbol of Italian unification, and witness the modern bustle of this historic square. From its ancient Roman origins to its role in Fascist Italy, Piazza Venezia reflects Rome's complex and layered past.
Knights of Malta Keyhole
Discover the Knights of Malta keyhole, a hidden gem offering a perfectly framed view of St. Peter's Basilica. Located on the Aventine Hill, this unassuming keyhole provides a unique and enchanting perspective, combining history, mystique, and a touch of magic. It's a must-see for those seeking an off-the-beaten-path experience in Rome.
Column of Trajan
Marvel at the Column of Trajan, a monumental Roman triumphal column erected to celebrate Emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars. Its intricate spiral bas-relief frieze vividly depicts the military campaigns and daily life of Roman soldiers, offering a visual narrative of imperial power and military success. This iconic landmark stands as a testament to Roman art, engineering, and historical documentation.
