Rome - Ruins of the Roman Forum.

Roman Forum in Latin: Forum Romanum, although Romanians usually called it Magnum Forum or just Forum was the main public market in Rome, as such the center of Roman civilization. Located between the Capitoline and Palatine hills, the forum hosted a large number of monuments and public buildings, being the center of political, commercial, religious, festive, legal activities, etc. It was also the hub of the road network built by the Romans, being crossed by the Via Sacra and point of origin for Via Appia. It was the background of many historical events. Caesar, August and Trajan built adjacent markets, known as the Imperial Forums.
