About this experience

About Mamertine Prison, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill: Entry Ticket This entry ticket covers four of ancient Rome's most significant archaeological sites in a single booking: the Mamertine Prison, the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Imperial Forums. The Roman Forum served as the political and civic heart of the Roman Republic and Empire for centuries, while Palatine Hill is traditionally regarded as the founding site of Rome itself. The Mamertine Prison, cut into the Capitoline Hill, dates to at least the 7th century BC and is said to have held figures including the apostles Peter and Paul. The ticket also unlocks access to the so-called super sites within the Forum complex, including the House of Augustus, the Temple of Romulus, Santa Maria Antiqua, the Oratory of the Forty Martyrs, and the Curia Iulia. Entry to the Imperial Forums is accessed from Trajan's Column on Via dei Fori Imperiali. What to expect Entry is through the dedicated archaeological area entrance on Clivo Argentario, which bypasses the main queues. Visitors can explore the Forum's surviving temples, arches, and civic buildings at their own pace, then continue up to Palatine Hill to view the imperial palace ruins and gardens overlooking the city. The Mamertine Prison visit includes a multilingual virtual audio guide that covers the site's history as a place of detention and execution in the Roman period. The Imperial Forums, stretching along Via dei Fori Imperiali, include the forums of Caesar, Augustus, Nerva, and Trajan.
