Roman Forum

When you have seen all there is to see of the Coliseum it is then to the Forum. You walk on the original streets to the main square which is surrounded by the ruins of magnificent buildings and monuments. You will see the Senate House, the Temple of Vesta, the Temple of Saturn, the Altar of the Divine Julius Caesar, the Temple of Gemini, the Basilica Emilia, the Arch of Septimius Severus and much more.

The ruins are magnificent but with the use of graphic reconstruction you get a real vision of how the Forum looked in times of Ancient Rome.
Colle Capitolino
