Overview
At its height, few cities on earth could rival the breathtaking splendor of the capital of the Roman Empire. Hundreds of temples, theaters, porticoes, and monuments once filled the ancient city — yet today, only a handful of the most famous structures seem to survive: the Colosseum, a couple of bath complexes, a few mausoleums, and a lone pyramid.
But this impression is misleading.
After the fall of Rome, countless buildings were dismantled, repurposed, or “upcycled” into new structures out of sheer necessity. Their stones disappeared into churches, palaces, and streets — but their presence never fully vanished.
This walking tour reveals the quieter, often overlooked traces of ancient Rome that still shape the modern city. Together, we’ll uncover the fragments, foundations, and forgotten corners where the past continues to echo softly through the present.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS:
Largo di Torre Argentina
Theatre of Pompey
Passetto del Biscione
Campo de' Fiori
Pasquino
Stadium and Odeon of Domitian
Basilica of Neptune
Temple of Hadrian
Column of Marcus Aurelius
