The Journey
Capitoline Hill
Ascend the Capitoline Hill, one of Rome's seven hills and a site steeped in history. Designed by Michelangelo, the Piazza del Campidoglio offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Once the religious heart of ancient Rome, it housed numerous temples dedicated to Roman deities. Today, it's home to the Capitoline Museums, showcasing a vast collection of Roman art and artifacts. The harmonious architecture and historical significance make it a must-see destination for any visitor to Rome.
Trajan's Forum
Explore the ruins of Trajan's Forum, the last and most magnificent of the Imperial Forums. Conceived by Emperor Trajan and designed by Apollodorus of Damascus, this sprawling complex was financed by the spoils of the Dacian Wars. Marvel at the scale of the ancient square, once flanked by porticoes and dominated by the Basilica Ulpia. Trajan's Forum is an extraordinary testament to Roman engineering and imperial ambition. Don't miss the chance to imagine the bustling activity that once filled this grand public space.
Trajan's Column
Witness the masterpiece that is Trajan's Column, a towering monument narrating the epic Dacian Wars through intricate bas-reliefs. This colossal marble column stands as a testament to Emperor Trajan's military prowess and the artistic skill of Roman sculptors. Ascend the internal spiral staircase to reach the top (when accessible) and admire the panoramic views of Rome. The Column's detailed depictions of Roman military campaigns offer a unique glimpse into the empire's history and its conquests.
Roman Forum
Step back in time as you wander through the Roman Forum, the heart of ancient Rome's political, religious, and social life. Explore the ruins of temples, basilicas, and government buildings that once stood as symbols of Roman power. Imagine the bustling crowds, passionate speeches, and momentous decisions that shaped the course of history within these very walls. Key landmarks include the Temple of Saturn, the Arch of Titus, and the Curia, each bearing witness to the Forum's rich and complex past. A walk through the Roman Forum is a journey into the soul of ancient Rome.
Arch of Constantine
Admire the grandeur of the Arch of Constantine, a triumphal arch commemorating Constantine the Great's victory at the Battle of Milvian Bridge. This imposing monument, situated near the Colosseum, is the largest Roman triumphal arch, adorned with sculptures and reliefs from earlier eras. Despite being dedicated to Constantine, elements from Trajan, Hadrian, and Marcus Aurelius adorn the structure. This is a powerful symbol of Roman imperial power and artistic achievement that embodies the empire's enduring legacy.
Colosseum
Enter the Colosseum, the iconic symbol of ancient Rome and the largest amphitheater ever built. Explore its massive structure, imagine the roar of the crowds, and envision the gladiatorial contests and public spectacles that once unfolded within its walls. Discover the history of this magnificent arena, from its construction under the Flavian emperors to its enduring legacy as a testament to Roman engineering and entertainment. Witness the best-preserved parts, capturing the essence of this historical marvel. The Colosseum is an awe-inspiring reminder of Rome's imperial grandeur and is a must-see for any visitor.
