• Via dei Fori Imperiali - Gracefully extending between “Piazza Venezia” and the “Colosseum”, Via dei Fori Imperiali is a grand avenue that cuts through the core of ancient Rome. Flanked by the remnants of the Imperial Fora — Caesar’s, Augustus’, Nerva’s, and Trajan’s — it provides a stunning stroll through thousands of years of history. Constructed under Mussolini from 1924 to 1932, the road both unveils and divides significant archaeological areas, creating a striking pathway where history and modernity meet.

• Roman Forum - The Roman Forum, or Forum Romanum in Latin, is a rectangular plaza encircled by the ruins of several key ancient government structures at the heart of Rome. As the political and commercial hub of ancient Rome, its worn paths are steeped in history. This was the venue for citizens to hear speeches, meet senators, or see figures like Julius Caesar or Cicero. The ruins narrate the tale of Rome and its politics, featuring the ancient Curia (the Senate) still visible, alongside the impressive marble columns of temples first erected in the 5th century BC.

• Curia Julia - Commissioned by Julius Caesar and completed by Augustus in 29 BC, the Curia Julia served as the Roman Senate’s meeting place. Situated in the Roman Forum, its formidable rectangular form symbolized the political core of ancient Rome. Exceptionally well-preserved, it continues to convey the Senate’s power and authority that once directed the Empire’s fate.

• Tempio del Divo Giulio - Built in the Roman Forum by Augustus in 29 BC, the Temple of Divus Julius honored the deified Julius Caesar following his assassination. Located on the site of Caesar’s cremation, the temple became a center of cult and political symbolism, where citizens could pay tribute to Rome’s first deified leader. Today, only ruins remain, yet the site still represents the pivotal shift from Republic to Empire.

• Tempio di Vesta - Among the most sacred locations of ancient Rome, the Temple of Vesta was dedicated to the goddess of the hearth. Its circular design symbolized eternity and the continuity of the Roman state, with the eternal flame inside tended by the Vestal Virgins. Although only fragments remain today, the temple still evokes the profound spiritual life of the Roman Forum.

• Arco di Tito - Constructed in 81 AD by Emperor Domitian, the Arch of Titus commemorates his brother Titus’s victories, including the conquest of Jerusalem. Positioned at the Roman Forum’s entrance along the Via Sacra, the triumphal arch is adorned with intricate reliefs depicting war spoils and the emperor’s triumphal procession. It remains a potent symbol of Rome’s imperial grandeur and architectural prowess.

• Arch of Constantine - Erected in 315 AD near the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine celebrates Emperor Constantine’s triumph over Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. Decorated with reliefs and sculptures repurposed from earlier monuments, it represents both the magnificence of imperial Rome and the transition to a new era under Constantine’s leadership. Today, it stands as one of the most renowned triumphal arches of the ancient world.
