Built in the first years of the second century AD, the Markets of Trajan were intended, for the presence of warehouses, shops and offices of the imperial administration, for commercial and administrative functions.
The monumental complex, rediscovered between 1926 and 1934, is characterized by buildings that rise on several levels along the slopes of the Quirinale and by a lower part in the shape of a hemicycle that looks towards the Forum of Trajan.
