Rome: Roman Forum Super Pass Entry with Audio Guide App

History

The Roman Forum, nestled between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, was the political, religious, and commercial heart of Ancient Rome for over a millennium. Established in the 7th century BC, it housed key structures like the Curia Julia and temples, serving as the epicenter of Roman public life. The Palatine Hill, one of Rome’s Seven Hills, is steeped in myth as the legendary founding site of Rome by Romulus, hosting imperial palaces like the Domus Tiberiana.

The Forum’s ruins, including the House of the Vestals and the Imperial Forums, reflect Rome’s grandeur, while the Palatine Museum and SUPER sites like Santa Maria Antiqua showcase preserved frescoes and artifacts. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, these areas offer a vivid glimpse into the Roman Empire’s cultural and political legacy.
