Rome was built on seven hills, and Palatine Hill is one of the middle ones. Set between some of Rome’s most memorable attractions, like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Circus Maximus, it boasts a hearty dose of history that dates back thousands of years.
Archaeological digs have proven that people lived on the Hill in the BC era, but there are also strong links to Roman mythology in the area. It’s thought Romulus and Remus were discovered in a cave on Palatine Hill by their mother, and it marks the spot where Romulus decided to build Rome itself.
