- 🐅 Wild animals were kept in cages
- ⚙️ Ancient elevators lifted fighters and beasts to the arena
- 👣 Gladiators waited in the shadows before entering the spotlight
These tunnels were the unseen machine behind the spectacle — and now, you get to walk through them.

🌄 Climb to Palatine Hill — The Birthplace of Rome
After exploring the Colosseum, continue your journey to Palatine Hill , the oldest part of the city and the mythical birthplace of Rome.
Legend has it that Romulus founded the city here after defeating his brother Remus. But beyond the legend, Palatine Hill was home to some of Rome’s most powerful figures — emperors who lived in luxury above the city .
From this vantage point, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Roman Forum , Circus Maximus, and the rooftops of modern Rome.
