Forum Romanum

Rome, Forum, view towards the Via Sacra, the Colosseum and San Giovanni in Laterano. One of the most fascinating places in all Rome, the forum, the beating heart of the ancient city, now blends several layers of history: you can actually see how the christian churches grew out of the ancient pagan temples. Better be warned, though, the via sacra can be a via dolorosa, visiting the forum in mid-summer is entering a furnace where shade is rare.
