The Roman Forum seen from Campidoglio (Capitol Hill) |
The view of the Roman Forum is also fascinating. This panoramic photo was taken from Capitol Hill. The palace immediately to the right is Rome's Municipality since antiquity. Today it hosts the Municipality and the Mayor's office. From left to right you can see the Torre Spaccata (the broken tower), the church built on top of St. Peter's jail (Mamertino), the arch of Septimius Severus, the Curia or Roman Senate (behind it), the Sacred Way (where tourists are walking), the Temple of Saturn (with its high columns, it was the seat of the Roman State Treasury). At its right you can see the remains of the Basilica Julia. The hill to the right is the Palatine, and in the background you can see the silhouette of the Coliseum.
Finally you can see the Roman Curia or Senate, the Basilica of Mamertino, and Capitol Hill (Campidoglio in Italian). Please look now the photos, the description will come soon.
