    Then head towards what is considered to have been the largest structure for public games ever built by mankind. Standing where once lied the Circus Maximus learn about the glorious Roman “Ludi”, the spectacular multi-venue celebrations held for up to several days. Let your guide drive your imagination through chariot races, gladiator fights, and the clamor of the public while walking on the soil where they used to take place. Finally, travel back in time to a quasi-legendary era before Rome itself and find out the Circus’s foundations in the early myths and Gods.
