  Colosseum

  The Colosseum is the most famous sight in the Italian capital and the symbol of Rome. With a circumference of 5220 metres and a height of 48 metres, it is the largest amphitheatre built in ancient Rome and also the largest enclosed building of Roman antiquity. The Colosseum was built between 72 and 80 AD under the original name Anfiteatro Flavio. Its history therefore goes back to the time of the emperors of the Flavian dynasty. After its completion, the theatre opened with a hundred days of games. For over 400 years, it served as an arena for various games organised by members of the imperial family.

  Palatine Hill

  The Palatine Hill is bordered to the north by the Forum Romanum, to the west by the Velabrum Valley and the Forum Boarium and to the south by the valley of the Circus Maximus. On almost all sides – except in the north-east – the hill falls away steeply by around 30 metres. Its height is around 51 metres, while the total area on the ridge of the hill covers around 10 hectares. According to the founding legend, Romulus gave the city its name after defeating his brother Remus in a contest. And Romulus chose the Palatine Hill as the place where the city was founded.

  Foro Romano

  The Roman Forum was once the social centre of Rome with many public buildings and monuments. Together with the Palatine Hill, it is now one of the largest and most important archaeological sites in Rome dating back to ancient times. At the end of the imperial era, the Roman Forum was a densely built-up complex that had developed over the centuries, with countless temples and religious buildings as well as political and commercial buildings. The last building to be constructed was the Column of Honour erected for Emperor Phocas in 608 A.D. After that, the ancient buildings slowly fell into disrepair and churches and fortresses were built on the site. Finally, the Forum Romanum served only as a quarry and cow pasture until excavations began in 1803.
