Flavian Palace

The Flavian Palace extends across the central area of Palatine Hill, featuring grand ceremonial halls, imperial chambers, and ornate architectural elements from the Roman period.

Emperor Domitian commissioned architect Rabirius to construct this monumental complex between 81 and 92 CE, replacing earlier Republican and Neronian buildings.

The palace established a new standard for imperial architecture by combining administrative, ceremonial, and residential functions in a single unified complex.

Visitors can access the archaeological remains through guided tours of the Palatine Hill, which include viewing the preserved foundations and structural elements.

The complex introduced a clear separation between public and private spaces through its dual sections: the Domus Flavia for state functions and Domus Augustana for imperial living quarters.
