Roma – Domus Aurea
zoom on the photo
The Domus Aurea, luxurious residence of Nero, rose on the ashes of
the terrible fire that destroyed a large part of the city of ROME
(LAZIO) in AD 64. The core of the structure consisting of around 150
rooms articulated around an octagonal hall is what remains today of
an area of around eighty hectares.
Restoration project
Restoration overseen by the Sopraintendenza Archeologica of Rome was
carried out to recover the masonry structures and the barrel vaults
of the main rooms. The formats were made to order for the restructuring
of the external walls and the inner arches.
