The Forum was originally covered by a swamp. It was only in the late 7th century BCE that the valley was reclaimed and the Roman Forum began to take shape. It was destined to remain the centre of public life for over a millennium.
According to an ancient tradition, it was in this hill that Romulo built the first nucleus of Roma in the second half of the 8th century BC. Excavations have revealed huts and tombs of the Iron Age and the ancient fortification. The Palatine was also the center of worship as that of Cibeles, the personification of the fertile land, an ambivalent goddess symbolizing the creative and destructive force of nature.
Between the 2nd and 1st century BC the Palatine became a residential colony for the Roman aristocracy. In this period the House of Griffi was built, famous for its paintings. Emperor Augustus transformed the Palatine into the official power center and began a program of building imperial palaces and restructuring and expanding buildings built by former emperors.
Admire the biggest and most famous evidence of the ancient world. Called by the ancient Romans, "Anphitheatrum Flavlum" (Flavian Amphitheatre), the Colosseum is the most famous and impressive monument of ancient Rome, as well as the largest amphitheater in the world. The name is undoubtedly linked to the large size of the building but derives above all from the fact that nearby there was a colossal statue of Nero and bronze.
It is one of the most interesting and ancient basilicas of Rome, erected before 385 and dedicated to Saint Clemente, the third pope after Saint Peter. It consists of two overlapping churches, built on Roman buildings of the Republican age and on the remains of a temple of the god Mithra.
