The political and religious center of ancient Rome, this is the smallest, but the most famous, of the Seven Hills of Rome, which features the Senate.

We visited the Capitoline Hill several times, to enter the musei capitolini and to enjoy the view over the forum romanum from here. What a stunning view! Especially on a clear sunny day you can see the monuments very well and identify the buildings with the help of a guide book. Some tours start here to prepare for a visit to the forum and a string of groups can be seen in the course of the day. There is a cafettaria to the right of the capitolini museum entrance, around the corner after fifteen meters or so, second floor. There is excellent coffee/cappuccino here, very nice pastry and some sandwiches. Its free terrace again provides an excellent view of the north western side, including at some distance the St. Peter’s dome. Enjoy!
2. Arco di Costantino

4.5 based on 1,686 reviews
Built in 315AD and noted by its triple arches, this structure commemorates Constantine's victory over Maxentuis.
Reviewed By Moonamuslim
The three-door Arch of Constantine (Arco di Constantino) is the largest of the three triumphal arches in the Roman Forum. It was built in honor of Emperor Constantine (Flavius Valerius Constantinus) in 312-315 and commemorates the victory over Emperor Maxentius, whom Constantine won in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, and his 10-year reign. A large and magnificent structure 21 meters high and 25.7 meters wide. Unfortunately, the size next to the Colosseum is not important - but impressive. Some of the reliefs and columns were taken from earlier structures and inserted in the Arch of Constantine. Certainly one of the most fascinating buildings in the Roman Forum. Like so many buildings in Rome, architecture is impressive, above all due to its details, size and old age.

Wonderful square with ingenius design of pavement to solve the problems of the space. Pope Paul III commissioned it to Michelangelo in 1536. The center of the designed pavement is the basement of the Equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius, Palace Senatorio and two gemini palaces close the scenic square.

This pillar is impressive by its helical stripes and fine details and prints. Another interesting matter is that another typical one is located in another place “Column of Marcus Aurelius” beside “Galleria Alberto Sordi mall”.

Reviewed By 750dimitrisl - Sydney, Australia
Tempio di Antonino e Faustina was built in the mid second century by emperor Antoninus Pius to honour his wife Faustina. It was also dedicated in his honour after his death and deification, hence the two names of the temple. It later was converted into a Christian church. Worth stopping by and having a look. It's in the Roman Forum. You can look at it from the outside as entry is not allowed.
