Elegant apartment just 7 minutes from the famous Coliseum

A very central part of Rome, the Historic Area includes one of the oldest areas in the city: the Foros. In fact, this area boasts some of the best conserved remains of the Roman era. This district is immersed in history and contains the city’s most important attractions particularly for those who really want to appreciate Rome as it was during the Roman period. Its particular feature is the obvious urban stratification and a blend of buildings from a whole mixture of different eras: classical, medieval and renaissance with baroque revision; it is a true concentration of history and architecture. The area has changed a great deal over the years and a large proportion was demolished at the end of the 19th century. In particular, the fascist era was very destructive, and in the 17th century this took its toll on the district that predates the construction of the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the street that cuts the Foros in half. A good view of the Foros can be seen from the top of the hill the Campidoglio, one of the seven hills of Rome. It is also the location of numerous palaces, including the Palazzo dei Conservatori and the Palazzo Nuovo, part of the Musei Capitolini , located at the Plaza del Campidoglio and both projects of Miguel Ángel. It is also home to the famous church Santa Maria in Aracoeli, the square Piazza Venezia and the complex Vittoriano, an homage to Italian unity. Just a short way from here other famous landmarks are the Coliseo, the Arco de Costantino, the theatre Teatro di Marcello that in medieval times was actually used as a fortress, the Portico di Ottavia, which marks the beginning of the gueto judío (Jewish Quarter) and is today characterised by its beautiful, emblematic Sinagoga. The Historic Area is just a ten minute walk from the Campo dei Fiori, Circo Massimo and other districts located along the river bank. It is an ideal location to move around on foot to visit the city. However there are other alternative transport methods, and just five minutes away are the nearby Largo Argentina and Corso Vittorio Emanuele where there are numerous bus and tram stops and the possibility to catch a taxi.
