It’s more than just a metro stop; it’s a physical and symbolic journey into Rome’s past. For the first time, the Colosseum Archaeological Park will participate in Open House Roma (May 16-24), organizing guided tours of the Colosseum/Fori Imperiali station-museum on Metro C, which is one of the most remarkable examples of the integration of contemporary infrastructure and archaeological heritage. The exhibition, housed in the station’s underground spaces, recounts over 2,000 years of history discovered during excavations: an extraordinary journey that includes 28 Republican-era wells, the balneum of a domus dating from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD, and Imperial-era residences with still-visible frescoes. The designers will lead the tours, together with archaeologists and restorers from the Colosseum Archaeological Park.
