Walk through the Roman Forum, once the bustling center of political, religious, and social life in Ancient Rome. Surrounded by grand temples, arches, and basilicas, the ruins tell the story of the empire’s rise and glory.
From the Temple of Saturn to the Arch of Septimius Severus, every corner of the Roman Forum reveals layers of history. Once the stage for triumphal processions, speeches, and public gatherings, it remains one of the most evocative archaeological sites in the world.
The Roman Forum (Forum Romanum) developed over centuries as the political, commercial, and judicial heart of the Roman Empire. Senators debated in the Curia, emperors built temples to gods and deified leaders, and citizens gathered in marketplaces and public spaces. Today, the forum is part of the UNESCO-listed archaeological area that includes the Colosseum and Palatine Hill, offering a unique glimpse into daily life in Ancient Rome.
