Terme di Caracalla: how to buy tickets online

Rome is a veritable open-air museum for lovers of ancient history: from its legendary foundation, the Romans turned it into the capital of an empire. Many structures from the public life of the period have been well preserved to this day and still form part of the urban fabric of Rome. Just think of the Colosseum, the Imperial Forum, the Baths of Caracalla or the Circus Maximus. The latter two are also used for large events and, if going there for a concert or a show is a unique and evocative experience, visiting them for the function they had in Roman times will allow you to discover more about the history of the eternal city.
