The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill

Hello bloggers,

Greetings from Rome again. 🇮🇹

After the Colosseum visit, Marcelo and I then visited the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill.

The Roman Forum is a beautiful squared plaza surrounded by ancient Roman ruins of a bustling Roman city. The Palatine Hill overlooks it as one of the seven hills of Rome.

Below are some of the photos I took.
