Visit the Imperial Fora and Capitol Hill
Walking from the magnificent Trajan's Column, jewel of architecture and sculpture made by Apollodorus of Damascus, our guide will show you, along the Via dei Fori Imperiali (street of the Imperial Fora), the ruins of the fora that the great emperors had built as lasting memory of their power. You will see the Forum of Trajan, the biggest and splendid of all, whose markets, true forerunners of the modern commercial centres, offered to the Roman citizen any goods to be found at that time. On foot you will reach the Capitoline Hill, once political and religious centre of the town, today seat of the Municipality. The stairway will lead you to the Piazza del Campidoglio, magnificent result of a single project by Michelangelo, with a copy of the most famous equestrian statue in the world, the statue of Marcus Aurelius, in the middle.

Visit the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill
Behind Piazza del Campidoglio you will find a natural terrace providing the best panoramic point over the valley of the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill. Walking through the valley of the Roman Forum the great Rome with its important buildings will revive before your eyes; the Curia, seat of the Roman Senate, the State Archive, the basilicas, palaces of justice, the temple of Vesta, and the House of the Vestals, the virgins in charge of keeping the sacred fire always alive, and all around temples and columns and arches of triumph erected to commemorate gods and men of the Roman history. From the Forum the guide will show you to the place linked to the fabulous origins of Rome: the Palatine. Here Romolus founded the town in the year 753 B.C. and starting with Augustus the great emperors settled here. From valley of the roman Forum you will admire the Domus Tiberiana only partially explored and the ruins of the Imperial Palaces.

Visit the Colosseum
Leaving the Roman Forum you will find the arch of Constantine, erected to commemorate the victory of the emperor upon Maxentius in the IV cent. A.D., and the Colosseum, everlasting symbol of the greatness of Rome and stage of the historical fightings of gladiators. Erected by wishes of the Emperor Vespasian to honour the grandeur of the Empire and inaugurated by Titus in 80 AD, the Colosseum was built in a valley surrounded by the Esquiline, the Palatine and the Celio hills draining a pond used by Nero for the Domus Aurea. The Flavian Amphitheatre, better known as the Colosseum, is probably the most famous monument in the world: this elliptical colossal construction, with a height of 48mt, has impressed and fascinated men of all Ages.
