Once the centre of Rome and the Roman Empire, the Roman Forum (Forum Romanum) is now a vast collection of ruins testimony to the history of this Eternal City.
Right in the middle of modern Rome lie the remains of the centre of the ancient city, the capital of the Roman Empire. Extending from just behind Piazza Venezia and continuing right through the Colosseum, the Forum Romanum or Roman Forum is an enormous collection of ruins. You can plunge into this history-filled area from the Via dei Fori Imperiali, or from various other entrances. From modernity, you step into the ruins of what was once the most powerful city of the world. Even though the city was attacked, invaded, and sacked many times, leaving it in ruins, a visit to the Forum is compulsory for anyone visiting Rome.
