Roman Forum of Italy 🇮🇹

#traveldiaries The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum, is a rectangular forum surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the centre of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum. The Roman Forum, known as Forum Romanum in Latin, was a site located at the center of the ancient city of Rome and the location of important religious, political and social activities. Historians believe people first began publicly meeting in the open-air Forum around 500 B.C., when the Roman Republic was founded. The Romans would gather around for political, religious, and economic events. It's worth visiting the Roman Forum just to walk through the area to see the ruins that were beautiful buildings. #italytrip #historicallandmarks
