As part of our Colosseum Rome tour we had entrance and an introductory guide to The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill .

Both are less than five minute walk from the Colosseum. If you are visiting the Colosseum do make an effort to see both . Historically significant ancient ruins .

Roman Forum

The Forum is nothing but a rectangular area with some surviving ancient buildings. You can see buildings from different era of history !

This area was the heart of Ancient Rome for centuries.

Significant Ancient Ruins

Temple Of Vesta

Temple of Antoninus Pius

Temple of Castor and Pollux

Arch of Titus

Basilica Of Maxentius And Constantine

The building with three hollowed out half circles .

Julia Cesar Grave

The forum was filled with a large number of historically significant ruins . We spend a few hours walking around and thinking about what life must have been like 100s of years ago .
