Conceived under the auspices of Emperor Titus, this monumental amphitheatre, completed in 80 AD, stretches a staggering 189 meters in length and 156 meters in width. It is an awe-inspiring edifice, crafted with a masterful blend of concrete and sandstone, encapsulating the very essence of Roman ingenuity.

THEPALATINEHILL

Behold the majestic Palatine Hill, where the very essence of Rome's storied past lingers in the air. Here, amidst the ancient ruins and remnants of opulent palaces, we are transported to the very heart of Rome's birth. This hallowed ground, home to illustrious families and revered emperors, echoes with the whispers of a glorious past.

But the Palatine Hill is more than mere architecture and grand structures; it is a repository of legends and mythologies that continue to enthrall. Explore the sacred cave where Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome, were nurtured by a benevolent she-wolf. This sacred space serves as a poignant reminder of the mythical origins that underpin the very fabric of Roman identity.
