Explore the Colosseum

Your tour stops at the Colosseum, where you can marvel at this colossal amphitheater built in 70 AD. Spanning over 6 acres with a height of 159 feet (48 meters), it was the largest amphitheater ever built and could accommodate up to 80,000 spectators for gladiatorial contests, mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The Colosseum's elliptical shape measures approximately 620 by 513 feet (190 by 157 meters), with four levels supported by semi-circular arches. Visitors can explore the arena floor, underground chambers where gladiators and animals waited before entering the ring, as well as the uppermost tier for viewing the city skyline. Unlike other ancient Roman structures that have been partially reconstructed or restored, the Colosseum remains largely in its original form, providing a unique glimpse into Roman engineering and entertainment.

Visit Castel Sant'Angelo

Your tour continues at Castel Sant'Angelo, where you can explore this imposing cylindrical building constructed around 123 AD as the mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian. Standing tall at 138 feet (42 meters) with a diameter of 105 feet (32 meters), it later served as a fortress and castle before becoming part of Vatican City’s defensive system. The castle houses numerous historical artifacts, including ancient Roman statues, medieval weapons, and Renaissance-era decorations. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of Rome or explore the papal apartments where popes sought refuge during sieges. Unlike other fortresses that were primarily military in nature, Castel Sant'Angelo’s dual purpose as a mausoleum and fortress makes it unique among Roman landmarks.

Discover Capitoline Museums

Your tour includes the Capitoline Museums (Musei Capitolini), where you can explore one of the oldest public museums in the world, founded by Pope Clement XII in 1734. Covering an area of approximately 250,000 square feet (23,225 square meters) across several buildings on Capitoline Hill, these museums house a vast collection of ancient Roman sculptures and Renaissance paintings. Notable exhibits include the bronze she-wolf statue representing Rome’s mythical origins, as well as Michelangelo’s famous sculpture “Cupid Castrated.” Unlike other art collections that focus solely on paintings or artifacts from specific periods, the Capitoline Museums offer a comprehensive overview of Roman history through various mediums and timeframes. Visitors typically spend about 2-3 hours exploring this extensive collection.

Experience Circus Maximus

Your tour concludes at Circus Maximus, where you can walk along the ancient track used for chariot races from 509 BC to AD 549. Spanning over 2,000 feet (610 meters) in length and up to 787 feet (240 meters) wide, it was the largest stadium of its kind in ancient Rome, capable of seating around 150,000 spectators. Visitors can explore the starting gates, viewing platforms, and grandstands where emperors watched chariot races alongside common Romans. Unlike other Roman circuses that have been partially destroyed or rebuilt, Circus Maximus remains largely intact, offering a unique insight into ancient Roman entertainment.
