We will then continue our tour towards the Pantheon square.. Just before the square adjacent to the Pantheon rotunda we will admire the magnificent ruins of the Basilica of Neptune. The basilica was constructed in 25 BC by Marco Vipsanio Agrippa – son in law and admiral of the emperor Augustus – in honour of the sea god Neptune to celebrate his naval victory over Marc Antony and Cleopatra at Azio in 31 BC. We will visit then the imposing and well-preserved building of the Pantheon temple. It was transformed into the Church of Santa Maria ad Martyres during the VII century.
The walking tour continues towards the beautiful Piazza di Pietra where we will admire the ruins of the massive Temple of Hadrian.. In 1831 the building was assigned to the Borsa di Roma (the stock exchange of Rome). We will then walk towards Piazza Colonna.

THE DOMUS AUREA
A unique experience that will take you into the heart of a genuine archaeological dig where you can observe the recovery and restoration phases ‘live’ and at the same time relive the dreams of a somewhat “extravagant” emperor.
The “Domus”, or house, which according to the Emperor had to be “Aurea” (golden) because it had to reflect the light he emitted as the sun God, was built by Nero following the terrible fire that destroyed a large part of Rome in 64 A.D. However, Nero died a few years later and the residence only outlived him for a handful of years: palazzi, gardens, porticos, fountains and statues were soon destroyed, obliterated, demolished. Forgotten for centuries.
Currently the Domus Aurea consists of the pavilion on the Oppian Hill, where you can admire the Nymphaeum, the Golden Vault Room and the large Octagonal Room.
A visit to the Domus Aurea is a unique experience thanks to a site-specific immersive reality and video-based project which enhances the experience with multimedia installations such as the videomapping of large surfaces and virtual reality. During your trip you can watch a “sensory” projection in the entrance hall and enjoy a virtual reality experience in the Golden Vault room.7
