(20 Oct 2015) Visitors to Rome can now see the Eternal City as the ancient Romans did, thanks to a restored, seven-level ramp that leads from the Roman Forum up to Palatine Hill and delivers a spectacular view over the ancient city.
The 1st-century arched ramp connecting the Forum to the hilltop Imperial Palace was first discovered in 1900 by Italian archaeologist Giacomo Boni.
But restorations only began in earnest in 2009 and finished with the ramp's official opening to the public on Tuesday.
The ramp boasts seven levels connected by six hairpin turns, some underground and some above ground.
It empties onto a hilltop terrace offering stunning views of the Forum, Rome beyond.
