Cabanes du Palatin, Archaeological site on Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy

The Palatine Huts site contains remnants of three oval dwellings from the 8th century BCE, carved into the hill's tufa rock near the Temple of Magna Mater.

Archaeological excavations in 1948 revealed post holes, drainage channels, and hearth remains, providing evidence of early Roman settlement during the Iron Age period.

These huts represent the primary architectural style of early Roman inhabitants, with structures made from natural materials including mud, straw, and reeds for walls.

Visitors can observe the foundation outlines of these ancient dwellings, which feature six post holes arranged to support the oval-shaped structures.

The construction method of these huts is documented through contemporary funeral urns, showing double-pitched roofs and small entrance porticos.
