Nero's Golden House (Domus Aurea)

Your tour begins immediately after a brief introduction to the site's historical context provided by an archaeologist. Don your hard hat and you are ready to start your journey! You will enjoy two special experiences on this tour: an incredible exploration of the colossal spaces of Emperor Nero's villa, the famous Domus Aurea (Golden House), recently reopened to the public in a remarkable state of conservation, that gives you a chance to relive the splendor of the palace's rooms, gardens and incredible porticos.
The emperor's vast palace—known as the Domus Aurea because its every surface glittered with gold—was ancient Rome's most spectacular building. Its scarcely believable highlights included a rotating dining room open to the starry night sky and a massive artificial lake.
