Best of The Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

In front of the Colosseo metro station exit you will meet your private guide that will take you to some of the most famous places in Rome. Skip the line and enter the largest Roman amphitheater: the Colosseum. Inside, walking through the remains, you will see the arena and the seating area. The Colosseum is one of the best preserved and recognized monuments in the world, is part of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”. Your guide will tell you, in addition to the story, the various inherent curiosities, such as the pastimes of the spectators and the fights of the gladiators.

Then you will go to the top of the Palatine Hill where you can admire a breathtaking view and see the mosaics and the remaining frescoes in the Emperor’s Palace.

The last stop is the Roman Forum. You will see the ruins of the House of the Senate, the Temple of Julius Caesar, the Arches of Triumph and other governmental and religious buildings.

Called by the ancient Romans “Flavian Amphitheater”, the Colosseum is the most famous and impressive monument of Ancient Rome, as well as the largest amphitheater in the world.

The name is linked to the fact that nearby there was a colossal statue of Nero in bronze.

In 1990, the Colosseum, along with the entire historic center of Rome, was included in the list of World Heritage by UNESCO, while in July 2007 it was included among the New Seven Wonders of the World.

The Palatine is one of the seven hills of Rome and has always been for the Romans the “sacred” place that had given birth to the city.

On that hill, isolated from the others and in a dominant position on the Tiber, the ancients had placed the legendary “foundation” of Rome and the “square furrow” traced by Romulus on April 21st of the year 753 BC.

In 44 BC, Emperor Augustus decided to move his residence there. Since then, almost all the emperors went to live on the Palatine transforming it into a single sumptuous royal residence.

The first real imperial palace was built by the successor of Augustus, Tiberius, and enlarged by Caligula, which extended it to face the Roman Forum.

The Roman Forum is an archaeological area of Rome between the Palatine Hill, the Campidoglio, Via dei Fori Imperiali and the Colosseum. It consists of the stratification of the remains of buildings and monuments that for much of the ancient history of Rome have represented the political, legal, religious and economic center of the city of Rome, as well as the nerve center of the entire Roman civilization.

Numerous buildings that can still be seen walking inside, such as: the Arch of Titus, the Basilica of Maxentius, the Temple of Venus and Rome, the Temple of Romulus and many others.
