"Via dei Fori Imperiali is a street in Rome, Italy, that runs between the Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum. It was built in the 1930s by Benito Mussolini, who wanted to create a grand avenue that would connect the two monuments. The street is lined with the ruins of the Roman Forum, the Imperial Fora, and the Palatine Hill.
The Roman Forum was the center of ancient Rome. It was a place where people came to buy and sell goods, to meet with friends and family, and to participate in government and religious activities. The Imperial Fora were a series of public spaces that were built by the Roman emperors. They were used for a variety of purposes, including government offices, temples, and markets. The Palatine Hill was one of the seven hills of Rome. It was the site of the earliest settlements in Rome and was later home to the Roman emperors.

"Sucede lo mismo que en el coliseo, para entrar hay que sacar la entrada con antelación pero desde esta calle puede atravesar los foros y disfrutar de unas preciosas vistas."
