Walk through 2,800 years of history. GPS-triggered narrations play automatically as you explore the Colosseum, cross the Roman Forum, and climb the Palatine Hill.
The Flavian Amphitheatre. Gladiators, naval battles, the underground hypogeum, and 2,000 years of destruction and survival. The building that defined Rome.
Where Caesar was cremated, Cicero spoke, and senators debated the fate of an empire. The Via Sacra, the temples, the arches. The political heart of the ancient world.
Where Romulus built his hut and Domitian built his palace. Imperial residences, Renaissance gardens, and the panorama that gives us the word "palace".
After Caracalla murdered his brother Geta in 211 AD, he ordered Geta's name chiselled off every monument in Rome. The holes are still visible in the arch's inscription.
Green copper stains on the marble floor mark the exact spot where coins melted during the Visigoth sack of Rome. Frozen evidence of a civilization's collapse.
The "thumbs down" gesture was invented by a French painter in 1872. Roman historians describe a "turned thumb" but nobody knows which direction. Hollywood got it from a painting.
Two thousand years after his assassination, visitors still leave fresh flowers on the altar marking where Julius Caesar's body was cremated by a grief-stricken Roman mob.
The original Roman lock mechanism still works after 1,700 years. These are the oldest functioning doors in Rome, possibly in the world.
While marble palaces rose around it, the Romans carefully maintained a straw hut on the Palatine for a thousand years. They believed Romulus himself had lived there.
