Highlights
Step into the Golden House (Domus Aurea), the grandiose Palace of one of the most famous Rome’s emperors. Thanks to ongoing archaeological restoration and an immersive Virtual Reality experience, you’ll discover the hidden world of Nero’s Palace, rich of beautiful ancient frescoes and incredible chambers. This immense palace was built after the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64. After Nero’s death, it was partially destroyed and then, it lay buried underground for centuries, forgotten and preserved, until its rediscovery during the Renaissance. It became immediately a source of inspiration for great artists like Raphael and Michelangelo. During this Virtual Reality experience you’ll be transported back in time through new technology and immersive 3d video narration providing you visual insights into how Emperor Nero's golden palace looked 2,000 years ago. The final result will be a true time travel, a sort of cognitive and emotional short circuit.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
