The Journey

1

Domus Aurea

Journey into the extravagant world of Emperor Nero with a visit to the Domus Aurea, his Golden House. Built after the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, this palatial complex was a revolutionary feat of engineering and artistry, boasting opulent decorations, extensive gardens, and even a rotating dome. Though much of its splendor is now hidden beneath later constructions, exploring the Domus Aurea offers a unique glimpse into the mind of a controversial emperor and the sheer scale of imperial ambition. Discover hidden frescoes, innovative architectural techniques, and the legacy of a palace that scandalized Rome and inspired generations to come. Note that it is located beneath the Colosseum.
