    The Roman Forum was the central square of ancient Rome, where political, religious, legal and commercial activities took place. The forum was surrounded by important buildings such as temples, basilicas, arches and monuments. The forum was the scene of triumphal processions, elections, speeches, trials and gladiator fights. The forum was also the heart of Roman culture, where statues and memorials honored the city's great men.

        The Roman Forum was founded in the 8th century BC. like a marketplace in a swampy valley between the Palatine and Capitoline hills. Over the centuries, the forum was drained, embellished and expanded by various kings and emperors. The forum reached its peak in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, when it was an impressive complex of marble buildings and squares. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the forum fell into disrepair and was largely destroyed by looting, fires and earthquakes. The forum was covered with earth and rubble and was not excavated again until the 18th century. Today the forum is a ruin of architectural fragments and archaeological excavations, attracting millions of visitors every year.
