What you'll do

We'll discover the history of Rome, from the legendary foundation of Romulus to the construction of an Empire. We'll visit the Velabrum and the Forum Holitorium, two centrally located areas rich in history and monuments, yet off the beaten tourist track. We'll see the valley where the twins Romulus and Remus were found with the she-wolf, and we'll stroll among Republican temples and medieval churches. We'll delve into the city's history, from the testimonies left by legendary kings to the great triumphs of generals. We'll be greeted by two imperial arches and two Byzantine churches. We'll admire a church incorporated into three still perfectly visible Republican-era temples, and we'll be thrilled by the legends, myths, and local stories of recent centuries. We'll be at the foot of the Palatine Hill and the Capitoline Hill, where it all began. In less than 1 km, we'll retrace much of the city's history, including archaeology, architecture, and art.
