Overview from the Victor Emmanuel monument of the historic Trajan's Markets in Rome (the World's first shopping mall!)

---

Trajan's Market (Mercatus Traiani) is a large complex of ruins in the city of Rome, located on the Via dei Fori Imperiali, at the opposite end to the Colosseum. The buildings and structures present a living model of life in the Roman capital and a glimpse at the continuing restoration in the city which reveals new treasures and insights about Ancient Roman architecture. Built in 107-110 AD by Apollodorus of Damascus, an architect who always followed Trajan in his adventures.
