Welcome to Part 3 of our Rome Walking Tour. For this episode we will be exploring the Colosseum, together with the Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill.
Also known by the name of Amphitearum, the Colosseum is the biggest and most famous evidence of the ancient world. Becoming a World Heritage Site in 1980 it has always attracted a thousand of visitors, curious of find out the incredible stories and mystery of one of the most famous monuments worldwide.
The Roman Forum (Foro Romano) was the very core of the Eternal City. This is was the political, religious and financial center of the city and all the Roman Empire. The Forum is where some of the most important Ancient Roman buildings were, and their ruins now are.
The Palatine Hill (Palatino) is where everything started. This is where Romulus, the first king of Rome, established the first layout of the city. Conceived originally for commericial purpose, over the centuries the Forum turned into a real warzone for the political power, marked by intense battles fought by artworks and public buildings, as usual during the Republican Age.
Our day started with a hearty breakfast at our hotel, followed by a brisk, 2-km walk to the tour meeting place just outside the Colosseum. We walked around the perimeter of the Colosseum passing next historical landmarks such as the Arch of Constantine and the Temple of Venus and Roma, the largest temple in ancient Rome. We then go through the entrance to the Museo del Foro Romano, where our passports were inspected before we were allowed to enter. We explored the ruins of the Temple of Venus and Roma, as well as the archaeological artifacts recovered from various locations around, including skeletal human remains and burial urns.
We then explored the Palatine Hill. Among the things we enjoyed were the house where Alexander the Great lived, the wonderful gardens, the great fountain and the cages where animals were kept. At the top of the Palatine Hill we were awed by the view of the ruins of ancient Rome as well as the surrounding areas. We then proceeded to the area where the remains of Julius Caesar were originally placed after his assassination by Brutus. On the way, we also took pictures of various landmarks including the Temple of Antoninus and Faustina and the columns of the Roman Forum.
After exiting the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum area, we walked towards the Colosseum. Led by our tour guide, we discovered astonishing stories of gladiators fights, celebrations, and much more. We then explored the archaeological area and learned about the history and significance of this archaeological treasure, as well as the restoration work that has been going on.
After the visit to the Colosseum, we walked towards our hotel and found ourselves in a delightful and inexpensive Chinese restaurant called Xiang Yue Ge.
