Can you name the seven hills of Rome?
Rome, as a city, was built on seven hills which still resonate in Roman life today. Can you name them, and do you know their relevance to the city?

I’ll help you:
The Seven Hills of Rome are Palatine, Aventine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline, and Caelian. These hills, located east of the Tiber River, form the geographical heart of ancient Rome and are considered to be where the city was founded.
Here's a closer look at each hill:
Palatine Hill:
Legend has it that Romulus and Remus were raised on this hill, and it was the seat of Roman emperors.
Aventine Hill:
Known for its picturesque views and the Keyhole View of St. Peter's Basilica.
Capitoline Hill:
Home to the Capitoline Museums and the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus, one of the most important temples in ancient Rome.
Quirinal Hill:
Features the Quirinal Palace, which houses the Presidency of the Italian Republic, and the Constitutional Court.
Viminal Hill:
Adjacent to the Quirinal Hill, known for its gardens and historic buildings.
Esquiline Hill:
The largest of the seven hills, and the site of the Roman emperor Nero's Domus Aurea, or Golden House.
Caelian Hill:
Features ancient Roman sites like the Porta Metronia, which would have been a gateway for travelers.

@Ximenajacoba The video I've seen of the underground remnants of Nero's Golden Palace are amazing.
