Where only unadorned stones remain, there once stood a luxurious structure dripping in gold, jewels, and ivory. Later thought to be a symbol of excessive decadence, the Domus Aurea now holds the remnants of rare intricate frescoes, colorful intact mosaics, and marble furnishings.

Upon its discovery, great Italian artists Michelangelo and Raphael were lowered into the early excavation site and drew upon the existing frescoes for inspiration at the cusp of the Renaissance. With your guided walking tour ticket of Domus Aurea, you'll get a rare glimpse into Roman antiquity, as well as views of the surrounding lake, vineyards, and fields, relatively unchanged since Nero's time.
