Mausoleum of Augustus, Roman imperial mausoleum in Campo Marzio, Italy.
The monumental cylindrical structure in white travertine measures 87 meters in diameter and contained three concentric levels connected by a central corridor.
Emperor Augustus ordered the construction of this funeral monument in 28 BC to house the ashes of imperial family members.
The bronze tables of Res Gestae, detailing Augustus's achievements, formerly adorned the entrance between two Egyptian obelisks.
The mausoleum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with weekly closure on Monday for maintenance.
The central burial chamber contained three rectangular white marble niches intended for the urns of the most important imperial figures.
