Praetorium and Roman Circus

The Praetorium is a Roman tower of the provincial forum, built in the 1st century AD to hold the stairs from the lower town through the circus up to the forum; in the Middle Ages it became the King's Castle. A passage leads from it into the vaulted corridors that carried the stands of the Roman circus, built for chariot races.
