Hello everyone, and happy start to the weekend to all Worldmappin lovers! Once again, I want to share a bit about my recent experience traveling abroad, specifically my visit to Rome last October. It's all about the must-see Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. How could one not visit a place like this? Less than two millennia ago, it was practically the capital of the world, and much of its history remains alive through time, even though today, most of its grandeur lies in ruins.

¡Hola a todos, y feliz inicio del fin de semana para todos los amantes de Worldmappin!. Nuevamente quiero compartir un poco de lo que fue mi última experiencia viajando fuera de mi país, en mi visita a Roma el pasado mes de Octubre. Se trata de la infaltable visita al Monte Palatino y el Foro Romano. ¿Cómo no visitar un lugar cómo este?, si hace menos de dos milenios fue prácticamente una capital del mundo y mucha de su historia se mantiene viva a través del tiempo, aunque hoy, la mayoría de su imponencia está hecha ruinas.

I remember taking many photos of this place long before I even entered. I walked along the Via dei Fori Imperiali many times on my way to the Colosseum, and you inevitably pass through the Roman Forum, which is also near the imposing Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II. I believe you always pay the same entrance fee to visit this historical site, which includes the Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum. In fact, I entered here with my Colosseum ticket, but for the following day. The ticket cost 18 euros, which I bought a month in advance, and after my mandatory hour at the Colosseum, I only had until the same time the next day to visit the Palatine Hill and the Forum, as the ticket is valid for 24 hours.

Recuerdo que desde mucho antes de entrar ya había tomado muchas fotografías de este lugar, y es que caminé mucha veces por la Via Dei Fori Imperiali para ir hacia el Coliseo, e inevitablemente atraviesas los alrededores del Foro Romano, que también está cerca de imponente Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II. Creo para visitar este lugar histórico siempre pagas la misma entrada que incluye el recorrido por el Foro, el Palatino y el Coliseo, de hecho, yo entré aquí con mi entrada del Coliseo, pero al día siguiente. La entrada costó 18 euros, la cual compré con un mes de anticipación, y luego de mi hora obligatoria en el Coliseo tenía solo hasta la misma hora del día siguiente para visitar el Palatino y el Foro, ya que la entrada es por 24 horas de vigencia.

I think I learned more at home before visiting this place, as I read a lot about Rome beforehand. I also knew that my visit to the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Palatine Hill wouldn't be guided, and that I would only have a few hours to explore them, since we were going to the Vatican Museums in another part of Rome that same day. All the stones and fragments that remain standing impressed me greatly; they are thousands of years old. The white marble and the writing on it, in particular, made a strong impression on me. The Roman Forum was the political capital of the Roman Empire, and the most influential people of that time lived on the Palatine Hill. Everything you see in these images is ancient Rome, which stood from a little before Christ until approximately 400 or 500 AD.

Creo que aprendí más en casa antes de visitar este lugar, y es que leí mucho sobre Roma antes de visitarla, además, sabía que mi visita al Coliseo, el Foro y el Palatino no sería guiada, y también que tendría pocas horas para recorrerlas, ya que este mismo día fuimos a los museos del Vaticano en otra zona de Roma. Todas las piedras y fragmentos que se mantienen en pie me impresionaron mucho, tienen miles de años, especialmente el mármol blanco y la escritura sobre ellos me causa mucha impresión. El Foro Romano fue la capital política del Imperio Romano y en el monte palatino vivían las personas más influyente de ese entonces. Todo lo que ven en estas imágenes fue la antigua Roma que se mantuvo de pie un poco antes de Cristo y aproximadamente hasta el año 400 o 500 de nuestra era.

Here you can find the ruins of iconic sites from ancient Rome, some better preserved than others, such as the Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian, the Medieval Portico, the Arch of Titus, the Archaic Acropolis, the Temple of Augustus, and even his house. You can climb to the Palatine Hill terrace and take panoramic photos of the area from the top. In short, I'm only scratching the surface of all the sites and museums within the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, and I simply couldn't visit them all because I wanted to see as much of Rome as possible in just one week of work and sightseeing.

Aquí podemos encontrar las ruinas de lugares emblemáticos de la antigua Roma, algunos más cuidados que otros como la Basilica dei Santi Cosma e Damiano, el Portico Medievale, el Arco di Tito, la Acropoli Arcaica, el Templo di Augusto y también su casa-, puedes subir hasta la terraza del Palatino y tomar fotos panorámicas del lugar desde la cima de la colina. En fin, me quedo corto con todos los lugares y museos que hay dentro del foro y el palatino, y que realmente no pude visitar todas con el motivo de aprovechar todos los lugares posibles de Roma en solo una semana de visita y trabajo que tuve allá.

I can only express my gratitude for having visited such a special place and city. This was a work trip, but I made the most of it, exploring so many important historical sites. Many of them were a dream come true for me, including these ruins, because there's something magical about discovering every detail of places that were once historic. Rome amazes me with the preservation of so many buildings, and here, even though they're ruins, I think everyone is working together to maintain what remains. In fact, I couldn't explore many areas that day because they were under maintenance. When I returned to Venezuela, some of these structures collapsed shortly afterward. I think it's normal for that to happen, so I'm glad I went before it did. Thank you to everyone who reads and supports my posts. I send you all a hug full of love and gratitude 🙏

No me queda más que expresar mi gratitud por haber conocido un lugar y una ciudad tan especial. Este fue un viaje de trabajo, pero saqué todo el provecho posible para conocer tantos lugares históricos y de importancia, además de que muchos de ellos eran un sueño para mí, incluso estas ruinas, porque hay algo mágico en descubrir cada detalle de lugares que fueron históricos. Roma me sorprende por la conservación de muchas edificaciones, y aquí, aunque son ruinas, creo que todos cooperan a mantener lo que queda y de hecho no pude conocer muchas zonas ese día porque estaban en mantenimiento. Cuando volví a Venezuela, poco tiempo después colapsaron algunas de estas estructuras, creo que es normal que pase, así que me alegra haber ido antes de ello. Gracias a todos los que leen y apoyan mis publicaciones, les envío un abrazo lleno de mucho cariño y gratitud 🙏

Greetings, brother. I usually comment in detail on your posts, but I was speechless, honestly. I felt like an ant trapped in such a majestic panorama. I got lost in the infinite blue of the sky. I really don't know what else to say. Elegant, beautiful, majestic. If I'm born again, I'll become a musician so we can relive all those trips and experiences, my friend, hahaha.

Saludos hermano, siempre suelo comentarte a detalle a cerca de tus posts, pero quede sin palabras, asi de sincero, me sentí una hormiga atrapada en tan majestuoso panorama, me perdí en el azul infinito del cielo, de pana no se que mas decir, elegante, hermoso, majestuoso. Si vuelvo a nacer me convertiré en musico para que nos vacilemos todos esos viajes y experiencias mi pana jajajaja.

Wow, impresionante e imponente sitio, es como viajar al pasado 😍 Roma es fascinante por sus esculturas y edificaciones tan antiguas, parece que estas viendo aquellas fotos que solias ver en los libros de historia, pero en carne propia, tantos años de historia, eso es lo que hace magica esta ciudad 😍

Maravillosas fotografias mi estimado amigo! ❤️

What a wonderful reflection on your trip to Rome! You've perfectly captured the awe of standing on Palatine Hill. It's truly humbling to walk through the Forum, where the echoes of an empire that shaped the world are almost tangible. Your point about the ruins speaking volumes is so true; sometimes stones tell the most powerful stories. Thank you for sharing this vivid memory—it's a beautiful reminder of why we travel. Hope to see more of your adventures soon.

Thank you

Hello my friend @jesuslnrs the building around there so awesome

Absolutamente maravilloso, un día estaré allí viendo con mis ojos semejante hermosura. Gracias Jesús, gracias, me encanta, viaje a ese lugar por un momento.🤗

The views are really nice.
Hope to see such a place one day

On the Palatine Hill I was in a museum with impressive sculptures in white marble.

But it was a long time ago, so I forgot what they looked like 😀

Your post reminded me to look for those old photos and reminisce about my tour.

To compare, there is no need, I believe that everything is the same, as when I was there, 15 years ago 🙂

Por Dios @jesuslnrs 🤩. Es que es un monto de historias en tu viaje a Roma, este recorrido por Monte Palatino y el Foro Romano, te diré que me recordó mucho a un juego de mi infancia llamado Hércules, donde brincabas y cumplías desafíos por estructuras romanas destruidas con monumentos así mismo Grandes y antiguos como en tu post.

Es impresionante la vida que tenían estos habitantes por los 400 años antes de cristo. Espero seguir aprendiendo más de la cultura Romana en tus contenidos.

Saludos Jesús y excelente fin de semana !! 🤝😉🙏

Thank you for letting us see the historical sites through your lens.

Wow the view are really amazing hope to visit to visit such a place one day🥰

What a beautiful journey through such an iconic place! The Roman Forum and Palatine Hill were some of my favourite spots when I visited Rome last year — I was absolutely in awe of both the history and the energy of the city. Rome has such a unique way of blending ancient wonders with everyday life, and your post captured that so well. Thank you for sharing your experience! 🇮🇹✨

Rome feels like history coming alive through your photos and story. Someday, I hope I can walk those same paths and feel that same sense of awe. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience

It's like an antique place, I literally amazed how beautiful that place are. Looks like an old style palace with a memory.

Uf... Me has hecho viajar con la imaginación y desear estar allí, entre las ruinas, en silencio, visualizando la historia...
¡Gracias por hacernos parte de este viaje tan sensible!
¡Abrazos!
