The Palatine Hill Experience

Rise above the archaeological heart of Rome to Palatine Hill, a place woven deeply into the story of the Eternal City. According to Roman tradition, this was where Rome itself began. Centuries later, the hill became one of the most prestigious addresses in the ancient world, home to emperors and magnificent imperial residences. As you walk among the remains of palaces, courtyards and ancient structures, the scale and power of Imperial Rome become increasingly clear. The elevated setting also provides some of the most impressive views across the Roman Forum and surrounding archaeological landscape.
