Circus Maximus
Circo Massimo (Circus Maximus)
Circo Massimo is the oldest and largest stadium of ancient Rome. Built over 2,500 years ago, it was once the city’s main arena for chariot races, athletic competitions, festivals, and grand public events. At its peak, it could hold an incredible 250,000 spectators, making it the biggest sports venue in the ancient world.
Today, the long open field still preserves the shape of the original racetrack. Standing here, it’s easy to imagine the roar of the crowds and the excitement of the horses racing at full speed.
During your tour, you’ll pass right alongside Circo Massimo, enjoying its historic atmosphere and beautiful surroundings on the way to the Orange Garden. It’s a perfect stop that connects you directly with Rome’s ancient past.
