A suggestive and detailed image of the church of Santi Luca e Martina with the remains of the Roman Forum, taken from the panoramic terrace of the Campidoglio (Roman Capitol Hill), in the heart of the Eternal City. This Baroque style church was built in 1634 in front of the majestic arch of Septimius Severus, one of the best preserved triumphal arches of imperial Rome. The Roman Forum, one of the largest archaeological areas in the world, represented the political, legal, religious and economic center of the city of Rome, as well as the nerve center of the entire Roman civilization. In 1980 the historic center of Rome was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Image high definition format. Built Structure | Discovery | City | Cityscape | Ruined
