Domus Augustana, Ancient Roman imperial residence at Palatine Hill, Italy

The Domus Augustana encompasses multiple levels of architectural design, featuring grand reception halls, courtyards, and private imperial chambers on the Palatine Hill.

Emperor Domitian commissioned the construction of this imperial palace between 81 and 96 CE as part of his extensive building program in Rome.

The palace walls display numerous Roman artistic techniques through preserved mosaics, frescoes, and architectural elements that influenced later European palatial designs.

Visitors can access the archaeological remains through the main entrance of Palatine Hill, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the year.

The palace includes a rectangular space called Stadium, which spans the eastern side and might have served for races or as gardens.
