This architectural masterpiece could accommodate between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, who entered through 80 numbered arches and took their seats according to their social status. Inside the arena, the Romans gathered to watch spectacular gladiator battles, hunts for wild animals, public executions and even re-enactments of naval battles that amazed the crowd.

Finally, explore the legendary Palatine Hill, one of Rome's seven hills and the birthplace of the city itself. According to ancient tradition, it was here that Romulus founded Rome in 753 BC. Stroll among the ruins of the imperial palaces and enjoy breathtaking views of the Forum and the city, while your guide takes you through centuries of Roman history.
