Domus Valeriorum, Residential ruins on Caelian Hill, Rome, Italy.
The Domus Valeriorum extends beneath the modern Hospital dell'Addolorata, featuring ancient corridors decorated with frescoes and mosaics facing a garden area.
The residence underwent multiple reconstructions after fires in 27 CE under Tiberius and 64 CE during Nero's reign, with eleven family inscriptions from the third century.
In 575 CE, the former residence transformed into a hospital for poor people and pilgrims, named Xenodochium Valeriorum in reference to its previous owners.
Archaeological excavations conducted in the early 20th century revealed important structural remains, including two distinct sectors with the eastern part containing thermal facilities.
The property proved too large and expensive to sell in 404 CE, until damage from Alaric's sack of Rome in 410 CE led to its symbolic price sale.
