Overview

Relive the excesses of Rome’s most notorious emperor with a visit to Nero’s Golden House.

Known as the Domus Aurea, the emperor’s glittering gold palace was ancient Rome’s most spectacular building, boasting a rotating dining room open to the starry night sky and a massive artificial lake.

Nero’s immense party pad was destroyed, and the Colosseum was constructed there shortly after his suicide, but this tour promises the unique opportunity to stroll through its magnificent halls again in the company of an expert archaeologist.

Reimagine the palace in all its original glory during the time of Nero himself! The tour starts with a brief introduction to the site’s historical context and promises a fascinating tour of Emperor Nero’s villa, the famous Domus Aurea (Golden House), recently reopened to the public in a remarkable state of conservation, that recreates the splendor of the palace's rooms, gardens, and incredible porticos.
