Full description
Enjoy with us this fantastic 5 hours tour through history: enjoy the outstanding complex of Baths of Caracalla, visit the Coliseum and its surrounding area, the most important and beautiful archaeological site in the world.
Meet our guide at the reception of your centrally located hotel or apartment and go with our driver to the Baths of Caracalla. Built between the years 212 and 216 under the direction of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, more commonly known as Emperor Caracalla, the Baths of Caracalla were one of the greatest and most spectacular thermal complexes in ancient times. After remaining in operation for more than three hundred years, the baths were closed in the year 537, when the aqueducts that supplied water to the city were destroyed by the barbarians. In spite of the passing of centuries and of the lootings that the baths suffered, the ground floor of the buildings and a large part of the impressive walls that formed the precinct remain. By using your imagination and with the explanation of our passionate guide it is still possible to submerge yourself in the splendour of ages past.
After the visit at Caracalla we enjoy a very beautiful stop before arriving at the Colosseum. At the top of the Aventino Hill you will stop at “Giardino degli Aranci” (the gardens of oranges). We enter the garden that offers a beautiful view of Rome towards the west and the north of the city, the main actor of this spectacular view is the imposing Dome of S.Peter’s Basilica. Next to the garden you are at the Malta Knights square, from this square one of the most worlwide famous images of all Rome is taken. From the lock of one of its arcades it is possible to see the dome of St. Peter in its magnificence and with the green outline of the tall hedges of the garden, getting a magical frame hard to forget. If the queue is not too long you will also be able to peek from the lock for this absolutely unique visual effect.
After this stop, you are finally at the Colosseum. Also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, this imposing structure is one of the most famous and visited monuments in the world. Opened to the public with a solemn inauguration that lasted 100 days, it was used for gladiatorial fights (murena), wild animal hunts (venationes) and, with the arena filled with water, simulated sea battles (naumachiae). Built where there was before an artificial lake of the Nerone’s Domus Aurea, it had a capacity for approx. 73.000 people with a large awning (velarium) which protected the spectators from the sun and the rain. It’s 2.000 years old but the Colosseum is still the symbol of the Eternal City.
After the visit of the Colosseum we walk toward the Palatine Hill, where the city of Rome was founded. This is the place where VIP inhabitants used to live and get fun with the many parties and events of the Empire. Thanks to the proximity of the Roman Forum Roman this area became so fast a very fashionable place to live, the most exclusive neighborhood where all emperors and the most important patricians families built their opulent houses which are still fascinating the visitors today!
The last part of the tour is the outstanding Roman Forum. From the entertainments of Ancient Rome to the business, you will head to the Roman Forum to learn about the commercial and political heart of the empire. Along the way you will walk along the titanic arch of Constantine, the final resting place of Julius Caesar, and the Temple of the Vestal Virgins, who were charged with the unenviable task of safeguarding the morality of Ancient Rome.
The tour ends inside the suggestive Roman Forum. You can keep the walk on your own along the famous Sacred Road or ask your guide to go outside and get suggestion to visit other parts of this immense Archaeological area.
