This week’s travel photo is of the ruins of the ancient Roman Forum from Palatine Hill in Rome, Italy. In ancient Rome, Palatine Hill was where the rich and powerful lived. I can only imagine what this view must have been like 2000 years ago.

Cracking shot. I’m heading to Rome end of the month so is this place difficult to find dude?
Hey Carlo. The Forum is really easy to find. It’s takes up the whole area between the Colosseum and Capitoline Hill/Vittorio Emanuele II monument. When you’re in the Forum you can see Palatine Hill rising up and can get up there near the Colosseum end of the Forum. I hope you have a great time in Rome!
