The experience
The evening starts at the Colosseum, and from there you walk the Imperial Road with the ruins of the Roman Forum passing beside you. Your guide tells the story of the city, from its mythical foundation by Romulus to the fall of the Empire, and you hear about the emperors who shaped it. The Trajan Column comes into view along the way, one of the most original symbols of Rome.
Then the climb begins up Capitol Hill to the square designed by Michelangelo, the best example of Renaissance architecture in the city. Take your picture from the panoramic terrace in front of the Roman Forum, where the led lights give the ruins a suggestive glow. From the hill you move into the City Centre and pass Largo di Torre Argentina, the real place of Julius Caesar's murder.
The walk then reaches the Pantheon, the best preserved building of ancient Rome, which your guide uses to explain Roman engineering, architecture and religion. Piazza Navona follows, where the Baroque decoration of Bernini and Borromini opens a conversation about art and life in Rome in those times.
