romeUndoubtedly the symbol of Rome, this magnificent ruin is indelibly linked to the past glory of the Roman Empire, and its subsequent decay and fall. It takes its name from the giant statue of the emperor Nero that once stood near this location.
romeThe ancient Roman Forum is a huge complex of ruined temples, basilicas and arches. It was the ceremonial, legal, social and business center of ancient Rome. People would gather there everyday to discuss politics with each other or with the senators of Rome. It was a place where the ordinary people could voice their opinion concerning trade and law, peace and war.
romeThought to be the world’s oldest shopping mall, the arcades in Trajan’s Market are now believed by many to be administrative offices for Emperor Trajan. The shops and apartments were built in a multi-level structure and one can visit several of the levels. Highlights include delicate marble floors and the remains of a library. The new museum of the Imperial Forums houses a wealth of artefacts from ancient Rome’s entire Forums.
romeThe Circus Maximus,which is situated in the valley between the Aventine and Palatine Hills,was a horse and chariot racing area. In the 1st C, it was Rome’s biggest stadium, a 250,000-seater. It was used for many other purposes as well. Marketing and gambling also took place here. Even though chariot races were held here as far back as 4 BC, it wasn’t until Emperor Trajan rebuilt it after the AD 64 fire that it reached its maximum grandeur. The track could hold 12 chariots.The two sides of the track were separated by a raised median termed the spina. The four-storey façade of the circus held a maze of shops, rooms, stairways and arcades. A great interior corridor provided access to any part of the structure. Now all that is left of the circus is the grass covered racing track and the spina. Being a large green area in the centre of the city, the Circus Maximus still is occasionally used for concerts and meetings. Over 700,000 people gathered there to celebrate Italy’s victory in the World Cup 2006. On July 14, 2007 the British rock band Genesis concluded the European leg of their Turn It On Again tour by a free concert at Circo Maximus in front of 500,000+ fans.
romeThe Palatine Hill is the centermost of the Seven Hills of Rome, and is one of the most ancient parts of the city. Overlooking the Roman Forum, this is an area of majestic ruins and grand views. This is the site where the mythical she-wolf nursed Romulus and Remus. When they were older, Romulus got into an argument with Remus and killed him. He later went on to found the city of Rome which was named after him. The palatine was Rome’s poshest neighborhood. Aristocrats lived here and successive emperors built increasingly opulent palaces. Eventually it fell into disrepair and in the Middle Ages churches and castles were built on it. During the renaissance, wealthy families established gardens on the hill.
romeAbove the Roman Forum, the Capitoline Hill was Rome’s symbolic centre and held the temple of Jupiter. It is one of the most famous and highest hills of Rome. It was a seat of power in ancient Rome and remains a centre of municipal government even today. There are two museums, the oldest public museums in the world, the Palazzo Nuova, with Greek and Roman sculptures, and the Palazzo dei Conservatori, with art galleries, sculptures, and frescoes. Just like in ancient Rome, the hill still has the best views of Rome’s centre. The Temple of Jupiter was destroyed three times by fire; it was last rebuilt by Emperor Domitian. In the 16th Century, Michelangelo designed the present plan. In the centre of the square is a casting of the equestrian statue of Marcus Amelius, the only statue to have survived from the era of pagan Rome. The real statue is inside the museum. For centuries it stood in the centre of the piazza until the 1970s when it was moved inside and restored.
romeThe Piazza del Popolo is one of the most famous squares in Rome. In modern Italian, it means ‘piazza of the people’. Before the age of railroads, it formed the main entrance to the city for pilgrims and travelers arriving from the north on the Via Flaminia. This large square was originally the site for festivals.It was also for centuries the place for public execution. The last execution took place in 1826.To the north of the piazza stand the Porta del Popolo and the ancient church of Santa Maria del Popolo.The Porta del Popolo was designed by Bernini and it was constructed in stone. There is an Egyptian obelisk in the center of the square. This marks the ‘Tridente’,the gathering point of three famous streets that begin in the square; Via del Corso, Via del Babuino and Via di Ripetta. This obelisk is a granite monolith built in Egypt during the rule of King Ramses II and brought to Rome by Emperor Augustus. At one end of the Piazza are two identical churches; Santa Maria di Montesanto and Santa Maria di Miracoli.
romeThe famous Spanish Steps, the longest and widest staircase in all Europe, are located in the most exclusive part of modern Rome next to Piazza di Spagna taking its name from the Spanish Embassy that used to stand there. On the right is Keats’ House, a monument containing memoirs of John Keats and other romantic poets of those times including Byron and Shelley. At the top of the steps is the French Church, Trinita dei Monti, built in the 16th C. Rome’s fashionable designer stores and boutiques situated in Via Condetti can be seen from these steps.This is a great place to sit and watch the world go by. At the foot of the steps is the famous Barcaccia Fountain, the work of Pietro Bernini and his son, Gian Lorenzo. The Steps have served as a meeting point for generations of travellers from the English grand tourists of the 18th C to the young people of all nationalities who flock here today.
romeThe English Romantic poet, John Keats, travelled to Rome to get away from the inclement weather of England and spent the last few months of his life in the Casina Rosa or Little Red House, where he bravely struggled to cope with his ailing health and where he tragically died of tuberculosis in 1821.The house situated at the foot of the Spanish Steps remains much the same from the outside as it was when Keats arrived in Rome.
