Palatine Hill in Rome, Italy

One of Rome's oldest locations, Palatine Hill was also one of the most coveted places to dwell during the Roman era. It is the most well-known of Rome's seven hills, rising forty meters above the Circus Maximus on one side and the Roman Forum on the other. Emperor Augustus was born and resided there, together with his wife's House of Livia, in the House of Augustus, one of the hill's best-preserved structures. Other Roman Emperors also resided atop the Hill in the enormous, two-story Domus Augustana.

Escape the city's noise and bustle at Palatine Hill, where you may unwind while exploring this ancient location on foot. Visit Palatine Hill if you have at least two days in Rome. The spectacular Stadium, which was formerly a part of the imperial palace, the Temple of Cybele, the center of a fertility cult, and the Domus Flavia, a place used for public events, are all highlights you shouldn't miss. From the Roman Forum, Via Dei Fiori Imperiale, or Via di San Gregorio, one may reach the Hill. A combo ticket that also grants access to the Colosseum and the Roman Forum includes admission to Palatine Hill.
