Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II

Reviewed By Llubi - London, United Kingdom

This place is free to visit. Is a beautiful place , is imponente... every corner is perfect from the stairs to the main part.... is full of details and sculptures....in there is located the tomb of the anonymous soldier where the eternal flame is on. If you carry on walking you can reach easily the Roman forum , Constantino arch and the coliseum. Highly recommend to take pictures from the top of the monument and to walk inside is simple beautiful

Arco di Costantino

Built in 315AD and noted by its triple arches, this structure commemorates Constantine's victory over Maxentuis.

Reviewed By Moonamuslim

The three-door Arch of Constantine (Arco di Constantino) is the largest of the three triumphal arches in the Roman Forum. It was built in honor of Emperor Constantine (Flavius Valerius Constantinus) in 312-315 and commemorates the victory over Emperor Maxentius, whom Constantine won in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, and his 10-year reign. A large and magnificent structure 21 meters high and 25.7 meters wide. Unfortunately, the size next to the Colosseum is not important - but impressive. Some of the reliefs and columns were taken from earlier structures and inserted in the Arch of Constantine. Certainly one of the most fascinating buildings in the Roman Forum. Like so many buildings in Rome, architecture is impressive, above all due to its details, size and old age.

Arco di Settimio Severo

Among the best preserved monuments of the Roman Forum.

Reviewed By SoCalOregonian - Murrieta, United States

This arch spanning the Via Sacra commemorates the acquisition of new territory and for the victory over the Parti. The arch covered in marble and decorated with many relief panels that depict the important moments of the campaign. On the Foro Romano side, above the arch is a small statue of Mars flanked by two statues of winged victory.

Colonna Traiana

Reviewed By AMohsen - Port Said, Egypt

This pillar is impressive by its helical stripes and fine details and prints. Another interesting matter is that another typical one is located in another place “Column of Marcus Aurelius” beside “Galleria Alberto Sordi mall”.

Tomba del Milite Ignoto

Reviewed By jroger333 - Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

Why is this rated so low? The most spectacular part of our stay. Beautiful building and the panoramic lift was well worth the price for the most amazing views of the city at dusk. As the light fades the floors and white stone look quite magical.Very romantic.
