There are still a few archaeological remains of Roman Milan, many of which have come to light in recent years. There are also fragments of monuments that no longer exist, such as the city walls, the Circus and the Imperial Palace, symbols of an important past. The ancient city emerges beneath the modern city, and the City of Milan invites you on a journey through time.
