The Roman Forum was the vibrant heart of ancient Rome for a thousand years. From the Colosseum, you can walk along Via Sacra, one of the main roads that lead to the Forum.
This central area was filled with temples, arches, and basilicas, frequented by everyone from government leaders to slaves.
Today, it is primarily ruins, but some structures like the Arch of Titus and the Temple of Antoninus Pius remain relatively well-preserved.
To visit, you can opt for a self-guided walking tour, or a guided tour.
