An ancient Roman imperial palace, the 2000-year-old Domus Tiberiana, atop Rome’s Palatine Hill, was reopened to tourists on September 21, nearly 50 years after its closure for restoration.
Domus Tiberiana was home to Roman rulers in the city’s imperial period and has views of the Roman Forum below.
Following decades of structural restoration due to safety concerns, the public can now tour the historic site.
The excavations uncovered artefacts from centuries of Roman life, and the palace now displays hundreds of items across seven exhibition rooms, including metal and glass trinkets, carved marble tablets, statues, ancient frescoes, pottery, other decorative items and coins.
Additionally, two multimedia rooms show documentaries about the history of the structure and holographic reconstructions of the original monument.
Tickets to tour the monument can be found at colosseo.it.
