The route takes you then across the Roman Forum, the political and religious center during the entire history of Rome from its origins to its decline. You will finally reach the Capitol hill with its Piazza from Michelangelo where stands the statue of the emperor Marcus Aurelius (a copy, the original is preserved nowadays in the Capitoline Museum) and where you can enjoy the view Roman Forum and the Palatine as a whole.

A hidden treasure is then made on the hill by the oasis of greenery of Villa Celio Celimontana, one of the more cultivated of Rome with entrance from Piazza della Navicella. The Mattei family purchased the vineyard in 1533 that covered the hillsides to turn it into a villa. The garden enriched by antique marble, bas-reliefs, palm trees, exotic plants became a stopping place for pilgrims. Interestingly, most of the sculptures that decorated the villa were sold and formed the nucleus of the Vatican Museums. The City took possession of the villa in 800, opening to the public in 1928.
