(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Teatro di Marcello
Before the Colosseum, the Theater of Marcellus was Ancient Rome’s amphitheater. Built by Julius Caesar in 13 BC, it only had 60 years in the sun before the Colosseum eclipsed it. See the mediaeval and Renaissance modifications on the top – it was later used as a fortress/palace by Rome’s warring, ruling families.
Once this gate, named after Emperor Augustus’ sister, accommodated two Ancient Roman Temples and a library. After the fall of Rome, it was used as fish market until the 20th century.
Antico Quartiere Ebraico
The once Jewish Ghetto is now Rome’s vibrant Jewish Quarter. Roman Jews were forcibly ghettoized here for 300 years. Now, this vibrant neighborhood has a unique Roman-Jewish character.
