After your visit at the Colosseum, once at the exit, turn right and head towards the triumphal Arch of Titus. On the right you can see the entrance to the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill areas.

Palatine Hill. The Palatine Hill is where everything started. This is where Romulus, the first king of Rome, established the first layout of the city.
