The Roman Forum (Latin: Forum Romanum; Italian: Foro Romano) is a rectangular forum (plaza)
surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the
city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the
Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
It was for centuries the center of Roman public life: the site of triumphal processions and
elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus
of commercial affairs.
The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the
world, and in all history. Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the
Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological
excavations attracting over 6 million sightseers yearly.
