So put on your walking shoes and get ready to explore some of the best ancient roman ruins around!

    • The Colosseum
    The Colosseum is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Rome, and for good reason. This oval amphitheatre was built in the first century AD and could seat up to 80,000 people. It was used for gladiatorial contests, public executions, and other entertainment. The Colosseum is now a World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

    • The Pantheon
    The Pantheon is one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world. It is a temple to all the gods of Ancient Rome and was once the largest dome in the world. It is now a church, but you can still see many of the original features such as the Carrara marble columns and the coffered dome.

    • Roman Forum
    One of the most well-known Roman ruins is the Roman Forum as it was the centre of everyday life in Rome giving visitors an insight into their lives. This site served as a marketplace and the centre of public life in Rome for centuries. The forum is located in the heart of Rome, between Palatine Hill and Capitoline Hill. Visitors can explore the ruins of temples, government buildings, and homes that once lined the streets of this ancient city.

    • Arch of Constantine
    The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome, built to commemorate Constantine's victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge in 312. Today, it is one of the most popular tourist rome ruins attractions and the largest Roman triumphal arch.
  2. Why is Palatine Hill famous?

    Palatine Hill is famous for its historical significance as it is one of the oldest parts of Rome, and was once home to some of the most powerful families in the city. Another reason is its natural beauty - the hill offers stunning views of the city, and is a popular spot for visitors to relax and enjoy the scenery. Finally, Palatine Hill is also famous for its connection to legend and myth - according to legend, it is where Romulus, the founder of Rome, was suckled by a she-wolf.
  3. Which is the oldest Roman ruins in rome?

    The Colosseum is the oldest ancient Roman ruins in Rome. It was built in 72 AD and is a major tourist attraction.
  4. Why is the Colosseum so destroyed?

    There are a number of reasons why the Colosseum is in such a state of disrepair. Firstly, it is made entirely of stone and concrete, materials which are very vulnerable to the elements. Over time, the Colosseum has been subjected to severe weather conditions, which have taken their toll. In addition, the Colosseum has been extensively looted over the centuries, with many of its stones and statues being taken away to be used in other buildings. Finally, the Coliseum was not built to last – it was designed as a temporary structure, and so its construction was not as robust as that of more permanent buildings.
  5. Why was the Colosseum built ?

    It was originally built as a venue for public events such as gladiatorial shows, animal hunts, and drama performances. However, over time it became more and more associated with Christian martyrs, who were often put on public display in the arena. In the 5th century CE, the Colosseum was abandoned and fell into disrepair.
  6. How long does it take to climb Palatine Hill?

    It generally takes around 1-2 hours to climb Palatine Hill, depending on your level of fitness.
  7. What is the difference between the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill?

    The Roman Forum was the centre of political life in Rome during the Republic, while Palatine Hill was home to the wealthy elite. The two areas are now popular tourist destinations, as they offer a glimpse into the past of one of the most influential civilizations in history.
