Your exploration of antiquity commences at the Colosseum, among the most renowned landmarks in the world. With historical and archaeological insight, your guide will reveal the physical and political conflicts that once unfolded in this monumental amphitheater. You may be intrigued to learn that Gladiator was not entirely accurate—and that Roman ingenuity enabled naval battle reenactments within these ancient walls.

The next destination transports you to the origins of Rome’s foundation. Palatine Hill is where Romulus chose to establish the city in 753 BC — a pivotal decision that tragically sealed Remus’s fate. Immersed in historical significance, you will admire panoramic views that extend toward your next site: the Roman Forum.
