Find out how it was reused; the use that the population made of it over the years; to become, today, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Stroll through the corridors; admire the ceiling decorated with wonderful sculptures; go up the stairs and go to the first level; look out onto the terrace for a 360 ° overview of the entire monument; observe the labyrinth of rooms and animal cages in the Colosseum underground from above. Finally, imagine that you too are sitting in the noisy crowd, waiting for a bloody and extraordinary spectacle.

Breathe in the magical atmosphere of the Colosseum. Close your eyes and remember, you will have to have a lot of imagination. Your tour guide will be at your complete disposal for any clarification and answer all your questions or concerns.

Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

Once your Colosseum Guided Tour is over, head to the other two sites of interest. But what were the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum? What importance did they have? Hear the story from your tour guide and find out what years, it was buried under layers of earth and grass.

Trace the history of the legend of Rome; the twins Romulus and Remus; the she-wolf; the challenge of the vultures in the sky between the two brothers; how Romulus became the First King of Rome. A history of more than 2000 years, which gave rise to the most important and feared empire in the world. Discover how the Palatine Hill radically changed its appearance over the years until it became the home of the emperors of Rome. Go through the rooms of the Domus of Domitian; observe the colored marbles that decorated the throne room and then descend into the Roman Forum.

The latter, in his complex history, witnessed the passage of dynasties; king; emperors; senators; consuls; philosophers. The place where Cicero made his grandiose accusation against Catiline. The square, symbol and heart of the Roman Empire. The place from which everything started. A continuous coming and going of people; sellers; merchants; slaves. A square that was filled from the first light of dawn until nightfall. A triumph of precious marbles; temples; very high columns. All built for one purpose. Exalt the greatness and strength of the emperor.
