Domus aputa, Archaeological site on Palatine Hill, Rome, Italy

The Domus Aputa features remains of residential chambers, corridors, and courtyards built in traditional Roman architectural design of the imperial period.

Emperor Augustus initiated the construction of this imperial residence, which underwent modifications during the reigns of Tiberius and Nero in the first century.

The site contains fragments of Roman frescoes and mosaics that demonstrate the methods ancient artists used to decorate imperial residences.

Visitors can access the archaeological remains through the main entrance of Palatine Hill, which includes informational panels in multiple languages.

The excavated sections reveal an underground water system that supplied fountains and baths through a network of lead pipes and marble channels.
