2. The Palatine Hill is everywhere started. Rome was first established here in 753 BC, by the hands of Romulus, allegedly the first King of Rome. The archaeologists found traces of settlements from the Bronze Age, and this proves that the foundation date given is quite accurate. Today the remains of the the imperial palaces can be seen. The Palatine hill was chosen by Romulus as it was deemed to be the best of all the 7 hills in Rome, thanks to its central position that was simply ideal. The ancient civilizations tended to choose the high grounds close to rivers for their early settlements. This gave a strategic advantage in case of military attacks as well as against the frequent floods of the water streams. The Palatine Hill is where the houses of the Kings of Rome, Palaces of the Emperors and notable people were.

About Rome

Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.

Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
