If you want to have a holiday experience focused on the history of Rome, make sure to put the Palatine Hill on your list. Because according to mythology, the Roman Empire began to take root here.
Legend has it that twin brothers Romulus and Remus were raised by a she-wolf in a cave at the foot of the hill. In the following period, on the top of the hill, they laid the foundations of the civilization that would later turn into a mighty empire. Although, later on, mischief broke out between them and the relations of the two brothers deteriorated in such a way that they would never improve again. In fact, it even went as far as murder.

There is a distance of about 40 meters between the hill and the Roman Forum. That’s why you can visit both historical sites on the same day and get invaluable information about the origins of Rome.
At the beginning of the ruins that I would recommend you to see in Palatino are the following:
Augustus’ House
Cybele Temple
Flavia Palace
Farnese Gardens
Hippodrome

Via di San Gregorio, 30 Rome
- Capitoline MuseumRome, like Istanbul, is built on hills. The Kapitoline Hill between the Roman Forum and the Campus Martius is one of them.
One of the reasons why I add the hill to this list is that it was a religious center during the imperial period. Even more important is the existence of the Kapitolin Museum.
The Kapitolin Museum is touted as the first museum in the world to be opened to the public. The museum operates in two very nice buildings designed by Michelangelo himself. Of course, Palazzo Nuovo, right next to it, was later included in the cultural facility, and the number of buildings was increased to three.

The buildings designed by Michelangelo have an interesting feature. The great master positioned both buildings with his signature to face the Vatican instead of the city center of Rome. This situation must have been very pleasing to the popes, as they were very generous in donations.
Artifacts from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance are exhibited in the Kapitolin Museum. Of course, while visiting the exhibition halls, you can be sure that you will see the finds dating back to the ancient period.

Piazza del Campidoglio 1 – 00186 Rome
- Arch of Constantine The Arch of Constantine, right next to the Colosseum, which is among the symbols of Rome, has a special importance. Because this ancient work symbolizes the liberation of Rome from a tyrant.

The building was built in 315 by the joint decision of the Roman Senate and the people. In this way, both layers of society wanted to honor the victory of Constantine the Great over Maxentius. In fact, reliefs describing this victory are placed on the lower parts of the arch.
Konstantin Jewelery surpasses many of its counterparts with its width of 26 meters. Although, the material choice made during the construction process, rather than its size, stands out as the most important factor that makes the building unique. Because pieces from different periods were brought together in order to be completed quickly.
Via di San Gregorio, 00186 Rome
- St. John Lateran BasilicaWhile preparing a list of places to visit in Rome, make room for the Basilica of St John Lateran. Because the building is known as the oldest church in Europe.
The religious structure was established in the 4th century by the order of the Roman Bishop Constantine I. In the area where the basilica is located, it was previously built by Septimus Severus in BC. There are the remains of a castle built in the 2nd century.
The basilica had a very important place in the Catholic world until 1870. The clergy who were elected the Pope first ascended to the throne here. Nowadays, the pope only visits the basilica to conduct the Holy Thursday celebrations.
“Is it worth going only if it has religious value?” If the question has started to bother you, let me give you the answer right away. As in every historical place in Rome, works of art that smell of mastery await you in this building. You can even see the Sacred Stairs that Jesus climbed on his way to the hill where he was taken to be crucified.

It can be visited between 07.00-18.30 hours.
Piazza di S. Giovanni in Laterano, 00184 Rome
- National Gallery of Modern ArtIf you like modern and contemporary works rather than classical works, you can turn your route to the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome.
The museum was established in 1883. But for its inauguration, it was waited until 1915, that is, the completion of the building bearing Cesare Bazzani’s signature. There is nothing in the art gallery, so to speak. The collection, which consists of more than 1100 pieces, includes works by many famous Italian artists, from Umbeto Boccioni to Antonio Canova.
