- Nero made the most ostentatious palace ever built that no king, consul, or emperor of Rome would ever have thought of.
- Its huge golden dome thanks to which it received its name was one of the many extravagant elements of its decoration.
- This building had ceilings stocked with semi-precious stones and finished in ivory, precious mosaics, pools and fountains plus an artificial lake.
- Most of the walls were covered in frescoes, the rooms finished in white marble with shapes that played with light.

Tour of Domus Aurea
Have you heard of Domus Aurea?
If not, then NERO’S Golden Palace, another name for Domus Aurea, might ring a bell!
NERO, a famous Roman Emperor, wanted to be remembered in history for his reign. So, he initiated a project to transform Rome into a new city, “Neropolis”, following the Hellenistic model of Alexandria, a town with the orthogonal plane with squares and wide rectilinear streets.
Like Nero, Emperor Hadrian also built the gigantic Villa Tiburtina about 30 km from Rome.
The Domus Aurea was part of this planned construction.
He wanted an unmatchable palace to show his power and for practical purposes.
The Domus Aurea portrays that decadence that symbolized NERO’s name for centuries to come.
