Palatine Hill

Archaeological site Rome, Latium, Italy

What to expect

The Palatine Hill is one of the seven hills of Rome and is considered the birthplace of the city. According to Roman mythology, it was the location where Romulus and Remus were found by a she-wolf. The hill was originally occupied by the houses of the rich and later became the site of imperial palaces, including the Flavian Palace. Today, it is a large open-air museum with many ancient ruins and archaeological sites, including the Temple of Apollo Palatinus and the Lupercal, a cave where Romulus and Remus were said to have been found. The hill offers a unique glimpse into Rome's rich history and is a must-visit destination for families interested in history and archaeology
