Description

Embark on a virtual reality journey through time and immerse yourself in the lost grandeur of Nero's Domus Aurea with a guide. Enter the largest archaeological complex still being excavated in Rome. Follow your guide through the many rooms of Nero's palace that can be visited today. Delve into the tragic story of Emperor Nero, whose reign was marked by both lavish indulgence and growing unpopularity. Separate fact from fiction, debunking myths surrounding the infamous fire of 64 AD. Explore firsthand the vaulted halls, hallways, and rooms, admiring spectacular frescoes that have been properly restored, some of them glittering with decorations that gave the palace the nickname of “Golden House”. Then, put on the Oculus Rift offered during the visit and enjoy, in one of the inner halls of Nero's palace, the 3D virtual reconstruction of some of the halls, the outside portico, and a splendid view of the palace. See what Nero's Palace was like at its peak and compare it with what remains today.
