★★★★★a month agoAn absolutely incredible place to visit. Standing in the middle of these ancient ruins and monuments, thinking about everything that stood here and everything that's happened in these exact spots, being able to touch some of these ancient historical buildings and structures... it was the highlight of my visit to Rome.
