This area was the seat of power for the Roman Empire for over 1000 years. Only remants of temples, palaces, and other important buildings remain. The years after the fall of the Roman Empire - the area was filled over and eventually buried. The street levels are at least 20 feet above thhe forum area. Excavations on on-going.
But is is neat to walk in this place and to know that the Romans shaped the history and influenced the founders of our country.
