The Roman Forum (Foro Magnum) is one of the main tourist attractions in Rome. For visitors arriving at the northern end of the Roman Forum there is a fantastic viewing area overlooking the Arch of Septimius Severus, Basilica Giulia, Colona di Foca and the Temple of Saturn. Nearby are the Mamertine Prison and Tullianum. This viewing area is next to the church of SS Luca e Martina.

The Arch of Septimius Severus dominates the foreground from here. This triumphal arch was dedicated in AD 203 to commemorate the Parthian victories of Emperor Septimius Severus and his two sons Caracalla and Geta. By 1742 much of the Roman Forum was filled with rubble and sediment, and only the top of the arch could be seen.
