 The
ROMAN FORUM is located in a valley between the Palatine Hill and
the Capitoline Hill.� Originally a marsh, the Ancient Romans
drained the area and turned it into a bustling district containing
the city's most important political and religious buildings.�
After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Forum fell into disuse and
continued to decay through the centuries.� In the Middle Ages,
the area was used as a cattle pasture.

Today, all that is left of this area is a jumble of columns and
ruins amongst a beautiful garden area in the center of the city.�
This is one of the few places in the city where you will find
serenity from the hustle and bustle of the city.� Bring along a
picnic basket and relax in the jumble of ruins, cypresses, and
wildflowers.�
