What To Expect
Colosseum
Called by the ancient Romans "Flavian Amphitheater", the Colosseum is the most famous and impressive monument of Ancient Rome, as well as the largest amphitheater in the world. The name is linked to the fact that nearby there was a colossal statue of Nero in bronze. In 1990, the Colosseum, along with the entire historic center of Rome, was included in the list of World Heritage by UNESCO, while in July 2007 it was included among the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Palatine Hill
The Palatine is one of the seven hills of Rome and has always been for the Romans the "sacred" place that had given birth to the city. On that hill, isolated from the others and in a dominant position on the Tiber, the ancients had placed the legendary "foundation" of Rome and the "square furrow" traced by Romulus on April 21st of the year 753 BC. In 44 BC, Emperor Augustus decided to move his residence there. Since then, almost all the emperors went to live on the Palatine transforming it into a single sumptuous royal residence. The first real imperial palace was built by the successor of Augustus, Tiberius, and enlarged by Caligula, which extended it to face the Roman Forum.
