Visitors can experience the Roman Forum at night with special guided tours made possible through a new lighting system and available every Friday through October 28. The evening tour initiative, called "The Moon on the Forum", was undertaken to mark the founding of Rome on April 21 in 753 BC. The 75-minute tours run every Friday from 8 p.m. through midnight in Italian and English for groups of up to 25 people, and must be reserved in advance.
The new illumination is a white and golden light that perfectly highlights the forms of the monuments and structures along the via Sacra, the via Nova and the Vicus Iugarius, revealing the Basilica Aemilia; the Arch of Septimius Severus; the Curia Julia; the Temples of Caesar, Castor and Pollux, and Vesta; as well as the church of Santa Maria Antiqua and the imposing Temple of Antonius and Faustina.
