🌄 Palatine Hill — Where Rome Was Ruled

Next, you’ll climb to Palatine Hill , the birthplace of Rome’s myth and the seat of its imperial power.

This hill was home to emperors and aristocrats , with palaces that overlooked the Forum and the Circus Maximus. Today, it’s an open-air museum , with ruins that still hint at the luxury and ambition of its former residents.

Here you’ll visit:

• 🏛️ The Palatine Museum, housing artifacts from excavations across ancient Italy

🏛️ The Roman Forum — Rome’s Beating Heart

Your journey concludes in the Roman Forum , the center of political, social, and religious life for centuries.

It’s hard to believe this bustling hub started as a swamp , reclaimed in the 7th century BCE and transformed into a grand civic space.

As you stroll along its ancient roads, your guide will point out:

• The Temple of Saturn, symbol of Rome’s wealth and stability
• The Arch of Septimius Severus, commemorating military victories
• The Basilica Julia and other public buildings where law and trade flourished
