Description
A walk through greenery spanning more than 1500 years of history and almost one kilometer long.
After eighteen years the path along the slopes of the Palatine descending towards the Circus Maximus is reopening.
The Archaeological Park of the Colosseum further increases the spaces open to visitors in the archaeological precinct, regenerating a highly symbolic itinerary: the hillside where Romulus founded the city in 753 BC and where, even earlier, according to the myth, the she-wolf suckled the twins.
Along the way you will pass the imperial residences, from the House of Augustus to the Severan complex of the 3rd century AD. and it is precisely the mighty arches of the Severan palace that strongly mark the urban landscape of the capital and characterize the profile of the southern slopes of the Palatine. The itinerary, now reopened, winds through an utterly fascinating natural landscape.
Myth, history and nature accompany the visitor along a path that finally unites the valley of the Roman Forum with the outermost front of the Palatine: the Murcia Valley separating it from the Aventine.
