    Full Description

    Private guided tour of some of ancient Rome’s most iconic and well-preserved landmarks: Trajan's Markets, the Trajan’s Column, and the Millizie Tower. Your journey begins with a visit to Trajan's Markets, often considered the world’s first shopping mall. Built by the architect Apollodorus of Damascus, this complex of multi-level buildings once housed over 150 shops, offices, and public spaces. Explore its vibrant history as your guide walks you through its corridors, explaining its role as a commercial and administrative hub of the Roman Empire.

    Next, you’ll visit Trajan's Column, a towering marble monument that celebrates Emperor Trajan’s victory in the Dacian Wars. The column is adorned with intricate reliefs depicting the epic journey of the Roman army, offering a stunning glimpse into Roman military and imperial triumphs. Your guide will help you interpret the detailed scenes carved into the column’s surface.

    Finally, the tour takes you to the Millizie Tower, a medieval fortress that stands as a reminder of Rome’s strategic and architectural evolution. Originally part of the city’s defense system, the tower offers panoramic views of the Roman Forum and surrounding areas, giving you a unique perspective on Rome’s historical layers. This tour offers a deep dive into the architectural and historical significance of these remarkable sites.
