Campidoglio, the seat of the Palazzo Comunale (Rome’s City
Hall), built by the architectural genius Michelangelo.
From here, you can enjoy the view and witness the decadent majesty
of the Imperial Forums and the Palatine Hill until the tour reaches
the Colosseum.
You will then descend along the ancient Roman road crossing the
ruins of the Roman Forum to the Temple
of Vesta, the Arch of Titus and the
Arch of Constantine. The Ancient Rome Tour continues towards the
vast Circus Maximus, the Pyramid of Cestius

the city walls.
