Circus Maximus
Circus Maximus is a historical monument in Rome, considered the largest ancient stadium in the world. Originally in the 6th century B.C. Built in the 1st century BC, it offered space for up to 250,000 spectators. Chariot races and various events were held here, often associated with religious ceremonies.
What's particularly exciting is the fact that you can still see the remains of the bleachers and track structure today, although most of the stones have been removed over the centuries. The site stretches over 600 meters and gives you an idea of the size and importance of the Circus Maximus in ancient Rome.
In the surrounding area you will find beautiful green spaces that are ideal for a break or a picnic. The central location means you can easily reach the Circus Maximus on foot from other attractions such as the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum. A visit offers you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history of the Roman entertainment world and experience the impressive atmosphere of this former venue.
