Palatine Hill
Visit the Palatine Hill, which was home to the wealthiest of Rome’s noble citizens during the time of the Republic, and later, exclusively the emperor.
Today, you can still see remains of some of the imperial palace’s former splendour.
The Palatine Hill looked over the Roman Forum, and it was no accident that the elite ruling class of Rome resided there, eventually becoming home to the Emperors, who built such large residences that the word “palace” takes its name from the hill. Another reason for the importance of this hill was its legendary connection with the birth of Rome.
A visit to the Palatine Hill is a must if you want to understand how the Romans felt about their city.
