The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum, is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum. (2/26/2019)

Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II is a bridge in Rome constructed to designs of 1886 by the architect Ennio De Rossi. Construction was delayed, and it was not inaugurated until 1911
Opened in 2001, the Forum was commissioned to replace the library which was sadly destroyed in a fire. Hopkin Architects redesigned the old library site along with an adjacent car park to form a complete city block for the building’s combined mixed uses. These include library and archive services, local visitor and business centres, a heritage exhibition, retail, bar and restaurant facilities, and the regional BBC centre for television and radio. Commercial office space occupies one third of the building, generating further income, as does a new underground car park.
Constructed in loadbearing brickwork, the Forum creates a sense of civic gravitas. The three-storey building shelters a horseshoe-shaped enclosure housing a new public space. The semi-circular end encloses the library and provides it with a continuous elevation to the west, while the eastern end opens to the city through a spectacular glazed wall, framing the Gothic church tower of St Peter Mancroft.
Within the horseshoe, the new public space provides a space for people to variously congregate, linger in the café or orientate themselves before using the building’s more formal facilities. The courtyard roof is supported by bow-string steel trusses forming leaf shaped panels, infilled with acoustically absorbent material or glazing.
The Roman Forum (Latin: Forum Romanum, Italian: Foro Romano) is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
It was for centuries the center of Roman public life: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history. Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million sightseers yearly.

"Le Forum occupait une place centrale dans la vie sociale des Romains de l’Antiquité, à la fois foyer spirituel, lieu de commerce et de sociabilité… Au VIIIe siècle av. J.‑C., ce qui n’est encore qu’une vallée marécageuse sert de nécropole aux habitants des environs. Il faut attendre les rois étrusques, dont Tarquin l’Ancien, au VIe siècle av. J.‑C., pour que des travaux d’assainissement (la Cloaca Maxima, réseau d’égouts) rendent le lieu habitable. Pavé, cet immense espace ouvert devient le berceau de la ville, s’enrichissant progressivement d’un certain nombre de bâtiments, de statues, de colonnes, de temples et de sanctuaires, d’arcs de triomphe qui témoignent de la grandeur et de la prodigieuse ascension de Rome. Saccagé lors des invasions barbares, utilisé comme forteresse au Moyen Âge, pillé puis abandonné, le site n’est plus, à la Renaissance, qu’un pré où paissent de paisibles ruminants (le Campo Vaccino, le “champ aux vaches”). C’est seulement au début du XIXe siècle que, sur ordre de Napoléon, les archéologues entreprennent des fouilles. Avant de pénétrer dans les lieux, profitez du panorama qui se déploie à l’arrière du Capitole et d’où, en surplomb, vous situerez nettement la Via Sacra, qui s’enfonce tout droit jusqu’au cœur du site."

Standing at the Rostra, with the Curia to the right and the Arch of Septimius Severus to the left (and the church of SS Luca and Martina in the middle).
The Rostra was a speakers platform - its history dates back to the Roman republic, but this one was begun by Julius Caesar and completed by Augustus (hence it is sometimes referred to as the Augustan rostra).
The curia, with modern reconstructions added, is from after the fire of the Forum Romanum in 283 A.D. - but built on the foundations of the curia that stood there before, a building that was started by Julius Caesar (but NOT the place where he was murdered) and finished by Augustus.
The triumphal arch of Septimius Severus was erected in 203 to commemorate his victory over the Parthians, together with his two sons Geta and Caracalla - after the emperor's death in 211 Caracalla had his brother (and co-regent) murdered and his name and picture was removed from public monuments, including this arch.

This is a six image vertorama from inside the Forum Shops in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. I took the image this was because i wanted to show the size of the room and also the interesting details in the ceiling and the statues.
The Forum am Schlosspark Ludwigsburg is a concert hall, theatre and conference centre. It was built in 1987 and for many people at Ludwigsburg it wasn't really love at first sight. In the meantime nobody seems to remember what the area looked like before the Forum was built. :)
