The Forum was the marketplace of Rome and also the business district and civic center. It was expanded to include temples, a senate house and law courts.
The Forum Romanum is located in a valley between the Capitoline Hill on the west, the Palatine Hill on the south, the Velia on the east and Quirinal Hill and the Esquiline Hill to the north. The Velia was levelled in Antiquity.
This is definitely one of the destinations I plan to visit during my trip to italy in September. I'm excited to learn more about Rome's history and wander the city. some other landmarks I plan to see: the Vatican, Colosseum, Pantheon and more!
