Part 2/8:
The journey through Rome begins with the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, significant sites that encapsulate ancient Roman life. The Roman Forum, once a public center brimming with political and social activities, was originally a swampy area before it evolved into a sprawling marketplace of temples and public buildings. Legend tells of Romulus, the city’s legendary founder, said to be buried here.
Adjacent to the Forum is Palatine Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome, rich in archaeological history and legendary associations. Visitors can witness well-preserved ruins and enjoy breathtaking views over the Forum from its terraces.
