Description
Discover Nero’s Golden House on a guided tour and see it as it must have appeared in his time thanks to an immersive virtual reality experience.
Step into the Golden House (Domus Aurea), the grandiose Palace of one of the most famous Rome’s emperors. Thanks its archeological restoration and with the help of an expert guide, 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.

The final result will be a true time travel, a sort of cognitive and emotional short circuit.
