Ancient Rome's legacy revealed

Walk in the footsteps of legendary Romans by visiting four of the city’s most significant sites. Begin at the Mamertine Prison, also called Carcer Tullianum, renowned as Rome’s oldest detention site. Historical tradition marks it as where the Apostles Peter and Paul may have spent their last days, and as the prison where high-profile enemies of ancient Rome awaited execution. Explore this layered history, guided by a multimedia tablet offering insights into the prison’s function, dark past and its place in the city’s judicial and religious life.

Your journey continues with skip-the-line access to the Colosseum. Once the largest amphitheater in the world, the Colosseum’s towering arches and arena tell a tale of emperors, gladiators and public spectacles that shaped Roman society. A multimedia guide—available in multiple languages—helps you unravel stories of epic battles, drama and daily life under Imperial Rome within this monumental landmark.

The political heart of Ancient Rome

Step into the Roman Forum, the hub of civic, commercial and spiritual life. This area, once bustling with elections, trials and commerce, is now a stunning complex of ruins, columns and temples. As you walk among the remains, learn about pivotal events in Roman history and how this space transformed from the seat of power to fertile pasturelands after the fall of the Empire, before systematic excavation restored its narrative for modern visitors.

Next, climb Palatine Hill, the birthplace of Rome according to legend. Overlooking the Forum, this plateau reaches 51 meters above sea level and features terraced gardens, imperial palaces and spectacular city views. Layers of architecture and vegetation reveal the changing fortunes of Rome, making it a unique vantage point to appreciate how urban design, power and nature intersected in the ancient metropolis.
