The ancient Roman Forum is a huge complex of ruined temples, basilicas, and arches. It was the ceremonial, legal, social, and business center of ancient Rome. Allow at least two hours to wander around the site. You can get a good overall view of the site from behind the Capitoline Hill museums. The Roman Forum is one of Rome's Top Ancient Sites.
