Remains of the Circus Maximus or Circo Massimo, meaning a large circus, an ancient Roman chariot racing stadium and mass entertainment venue located in the valley between the Aventine and Palatine hills in the Italian capital Rome. It was the first and largest stadium in ancient Rome and its later Empire and it became the model for circuses throughout the Roman Empire. The site is now a public park. At the background the National Monument.The Palatine Hill, Collis Palatium or Mons Palatinus is the centermost of the Seven Hills of Rome and is one of the most ancient parts of the city. It stands 40 metres above the Forum Romanum and is looking down upon it on one side, and upon the Circus Maximus on the other. The Palatine Hill was the location of the cave, known as the Lupercal, where Romulus and Remus were found by the she-wolf that kept them alive.
