The Domus Aurea opens its doors to visitors on the third Thursday of each month for a series of in-depth thematic tours: during the guided tours, participants are led on a discovery of previously unseen itineraries that reveal Nero's palace in a new, interesting light.
SCHEDULED EVENTS:
The Trees of the Domus Aurea
April 16, 4:00 PM
The Domus Aurea was conceived not as a simple palace, but as an immense royal palace in which green spaces and buildings were closely connected. This relationship between garden and pavilions was interrupted by Trajan, but resumed, in a different way, following the dismantling of the Trajan Baths. Plants will be the focus of this educational tour; we will discover which plants were present during the Neronian era and which can be found today.
Maximum number of participants: 23
Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes
The Domus Aurea: Archaeology and Restoration
May 21, 4:00 PM
This educational tour, led by two speakers, will focus on the monument's state of conservation, with particular attention to safety, consolidation, and restoration interventions. All the archaeological information needed to understand the site will also be provided, demonstrating how protection and enhancement work hand in hand.
Maximum number of participants: 23
Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Light in the Domus Aurea
November 19, 4:00 PM
The Domus Aurea is known for its exquisite decorations, highlighted by sunlight. The architects Severus and Celer, referred to by sources as magistri et machinatores, expertly studied the role of light to use it as an additional decorative element. The proposed tour aims to demonstrate how light has embellished a monument that has been immersed in darkness for centuries.
Maximum number of participants: 23
Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes
