See highlights such as the Temple of Vesta and the House of the Vestal Virgins, the Basilica Julia, the Temple of Castor and Pollux, the Arch of Titus, and the Senate House. Hear the stories behind these monuments and discover how this vast archaeological area became the stage for some of the most important moments in Roman history.
