Perched on one of Rome’s seven hills, the Palatine Hill is the oldest part of the city, with a history that stretches back to the Iron Age. This area is renowned for its opulent villas, such as the House of Livia, and a series of imperial palaces, including the Domus Tiberiana, Domus Transitoria, Domus Aurea, and Domus Flavia. Today, visitors can explore the remnants of these ancient structures, and in the Palatine Museum, they can view a collection of artifacts unearthed during excavations on the hill. The museum offers a deeper insight into the rich history and daily life of this historic site.
