Trajan's Forum

After visiting the Colosseum and walking down the main street, you will see ruins from the Ancient Roman Empire everywhere you look. It’s lovely when you come across a section of the forum where you’ll see that while human civilisations have left the ruins to commemorate the past, our feline counterparts have slowly but surely made themselves at home. After visiting Rome more than 20 times in the past couple of years, I am truly of the belief that there is always more to discover! Having visited the main sections of the Forum in the centre of the city, my favourite of all of the parts of the Roman Forum is Trajan’s Forum. You’ll be able to reach this section of Rome by foot from the Colosseum, which allows you to have a mosey of other sections of the Forum. The building that houses Trajan’s Forum is stunning, it preserves the original building that has been restored and adds glass to introduce lots of light to the space. Trajan’s Forum is a great secret of the Roman centro storico. It’s nowhere near as busy as other sections of the Forum, but is by far the most spectacular and it is a truly educational experience. Your entry ticket includes an audio guide which has been structured to a very high quality. You will easily pass a couple of hours following the audio guide and taking in the history of Trajan’s Forum. Photo by Christoph Schmid on Unsplash
