Domus Tiberiana - Explore the NEWEST opening on Rome's Palatine Hill!
The most recently opened site on the Palatine Hill is the Domus Tiberiana - once the palatial home to Rome's mighty emperors.
Today we can visit some of the excavated rooms and admire some of the stunning architectural details, along with the artifacts found on the site of this ancient imperial palace.
Come along as I share with you the history of this palace and its place on the Palatine Hill as it relates to other imperial residences.

Grazie mille. Fond memories of exploring the Palatine on an early winter morning. Had the place to myself. Watched the sun come up over the Colosseum. Just me and the ghosts in the real Caesar's Palace. Fantastico.
I love these kinds of memories! Thank you for sharing so poetically :)
This complex is both fascinating and difficult to comprehend as a whole. Many individual parts are beautifully restored and quite elegantly presented. I wish there were a floor plan "map" of the entire construction with the portions appearing in the video graphically indicated as we move from place to place, to help understand just where we are in this vast complex. The extent of this complex is just amazing.
Yes it's quite an amazing and impressive complex!
I always admire and appreciate your description with your deep knowledge of Roman history. Your video stimulates my love for Roma each time.
Thank you for your kind comments! I really appreciate it!
The palace is huge!!!
It is!
Another fabulous video that leaves visitors yearning to learn and experience more. You’ve done wonders for Rome tourism. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and my content!
Thanks.
So very well done!
Thank you kindly!
Hi. Every time I watch one of your videos, makes me want to buy a plane ticket and flight to Italy.
Aww thank you! What a lovely thing to say!
I really enjoy your descriptions. Helps me understand what you are showing us. Thanks 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm really glad you find my content helpful!
Loved it! Thank You!
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Elyssa! 😄 I like your coat too!😍
Thanks so much! I got my coat in the Dolomites - it's called Loden wool.
Great.
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!
Great vid. Thank you. I definitely need to go back and get my museum and pasta fix renewed. Thanks again.
Thanks a lot! Yes, Rome is always a good idea!
I love your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and videos. ❤🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your kind comments.
I visited this spot many years ago. Thanks for nice explanation of Domus Tiberiana.
Thank you for watching! I appreciate your kind comments.
Super interesting video.😊
Thank you! 😃
With each of your videos I think more and more that perhaps I will have to visit Roma one more time before I die. Grazie!
Thanks so much. I'm glad you find them inspiring!
We have booked this tour as of your last video. Great videos.
Awesome! Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful time!
First botanical garden in Europe is in Salerno, " Giardini Della Minerva." They wear associated with the school of Medicine of Salerno. They go back to the 12Th century. The Palatine like the forum was a "Campo di Vacche." Fields for cow pasture.
Thanks for letting me know about the Giardini della Minerva. I stand corrected!
Excellent. I visited this at the end of January. Tremendous. I’ll be going to Florence next month and am glad to see that you have Florence videos. ✌️
Thank you so much! Yes, the Domus Tiberiana is really amazing, isn't it? I'm glad you enjoy my content. Stay tuned, as we have a new Florence video coming soon!
the video is so informative. It's definitely on my list for 2025. On my last visit the ramp was closed . I'm so grateful for your expertise and informative video shots. Also, kudos for including maps of how the Palatine looked in antiquity
Thanks so much for letting me know you enjoyed my video. I'm grateful you noticed the details I tried to share! I hope you will visit this site on your next visit!
Thank you for your video, you can tell it very inspiring Florence! your eyes say it all. I once saw Pro-Walk's video of the PalatineHill (and also Domus Augusta, it seems you can visit it now) but your video appeals more to the imagination. What I wondered: had every emperor had his own house built? Too bad that a lot was destroyed, especially during the wars of the Goths in about 536 AD. Greetings from me and I will visit Roma (are you there) need a guide too!
Thank you for watching and for letting me know you enjoyed my video. No, not every emperor had his own house built. As I mentioned, the 4 emperors after Augustus probably lived in this palace, as did Domitian and Hadrian but probably others as well. Yes, it's a shame so much of Rome has been destroyed over the centuries. On the other hand, we still have so much that we can see, thanks to their perfection of the arch and of that famous durable Roman cement! So I am grateful for that. Thanks again!
When you are high on the Palatine hill there is a two story house in the background that appears to be beautifully restored. The window frames are huge and might even hold glass. What is the name of that house? Is it a museum? A short distance away there is another house wrapped in plastic, is it being restored and does it have a name.? In every video I've found that shows these tall houses nobody ever identifies them and given their location how can they not be important. I am very happy that I subscribe to your channel. It sounds as though you are actually very interested in history and enjoy sharing your wealth of information. I've exhausted all of Mary Beard's videos and your sincere presentation reminds me of her passion for the history of ancient Rome. Thank you.
The structure is unlabeled on my tourist map of the Palatine hill. However, it is next to the Museo Palatino (a larger, box-like building with exhibits). You might search for the Museum Palatino and perhaps find information about the other building you My guess is that this smaller building is the remains of a former Renaissance era structure that is now being used for storage, e.g. maintenance equipment. But perhaps someone else will know for sure?
Thank you for answering me. Much appreciated. @@m.simmons7149
Although you speak English beautifully and without an accent that my ear can detect it sounds as though you may well speak Italian fluently too, is that the case?
Thanks a lot for watching my video. I had identified those buildings in my first version of the video, but cut that part out to shorten the video as it was too long. A lot of editing goes into my videos! The building covered in scaffolding is the Palatine Museum, which you can visit if you have a SUPER pass or Full Experience ticket. It's closed now but will reopen March 8. It's one of my favorite micro-museums in Rome. The other building sticking up from the Domus Flavia is the Farnese lodge - a sort of pleasure palace that was once part of the larger Horti Farnesiani that I talk about in the video. It was decorated by the Renaissance artist Taddeo Zuccari. It's not open to the public but if you get close to it, you can use your camera to zoom in to the frescos which are lovely.
Thank you! I am from Gainesville, Florida and am married to a Roman, so yes, I speak Italian fluently. In fact, I speak with a Roman accent and can speak and understand Roman dialect...it helps to live here and have a Roman husband and Roman friends! If you're interested, you can read more about me here: www.romewise.com/about-romewise.html
Wow, great video. I was wondering if this would be open to the public! Now I know. We are coming in April. We are 2 artists. Do you think we would be allowed to paint on the Palatine Hill. Our easels use tripods which I know sometimes are a no, no. My guess is we would not be allowed, but I love that overlook! I'm sure we could sketch instead. Also I was wondering if you had any suggestions of good places to set up our easels and paint? Love your channel and your website!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I honestly don't know if you'd be allowed to bring an easel to sketch inside the Palatine Hill. A sketchpad is one thing but an easel is probably not allowed although I am not certain. The same goes for other areas around Rome. The Vatican has their own rules which you can find here: www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/en/organizza-visita/consigli-utili.html I hope you have a wonderful visit and get lots of sketching done! Thanks again for your comments. I appreciate them!
I love your informative videos! They are so helpful as we plan our visit to Rome in October 2024. We have booked a Walks of Italy Tour of the Colosseum mostly because we wanted a guide for the Roman Forum & Palatine Hill. We are interested in the Super Sites, and now the Domus Tiberiana. Do you know if we can book the 4 euros Super Sites Pass alone? I know after the tour we can stay longer and explore the Forum & Palestine Hill. I wondered if we would have to walk out and re-enter the area, or could we just enter the Super Sites with that pass? Thanks.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you find my videos helpful. Your tour with Walks of Italy will cover the Roman Forum and a little of the Palatine but if you really want to enjoy these sites and take your time, the best thing is to stay inside and continue exploring after your tour. There is no re-entry. So I suggest you purchase your 4-Euro upgrade in advance. Then once your tour finishes, stay inside the park and with that pass, you can visit the SUPER sites. I'm not sure what you mean when you ask if you can book the 4-Euros upgrade alone. When you booked your tour, Walks of Italy will get a ticket for you. That is a standard ticket unless they are also taking you to a Full Experience part of the Colosseum - the attic, arena, or underground. If your tour covers one of those sites, then you already have access to the SUPER sites. If it's just a standard ticket/tour, then you'll need to upgrade. Make sure to let the guide know you need your ticket so you can continue to visit the sites after the tour.
@@Romewise thank you. I’m pretty sure I booked a tour that includes the arena so it sounds like we will be all set. Would love to also see the attic, but maybe another time. Thanks!
Don't worry, you will love everything you visit! There is just so much to see, it's really impossible to see it all in a single visit. Have a great time! @@daisy123416
We are coming to Rome for NYE and the week after. Do you think we will be able to visit the Palatine Hill at that time?
Yes, the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill are all open at that time. In recent years, they have even been open on New Years' Day.
This woman is gorgeous and she knows her history
Wow what a lovely comment, thank you!
Hi.I've commented on some of your tours already.I have to ask this question of you.Why have you never mentioned anything about The Basilica of the Cross Jerusalem?Do you believe the relics there may not be genuine?Many years ago The Discovery Channel did a special about Catholic relics.They were given permission to photograph the sign that was nailed to the cross that is in the basilica.They had linguistic experts study the writing on the sign.Their conclusion was that the writing on the sign was unique for that time and concluded that they felt the sign was 99% authentic.Then they said,"not bad for a forgery."Meaning if someone did fake the sign they had to be very astute in the writing of that time and in 3 languages.When I come to Rome in Sept. I'm going to the basillica to see for myself.
Thanks for watching and commenting on my videos. It's always a pleasure interacting with people who are interested in Rome, both present and ancient! I love the Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme (Holy Cross of Jerusalem.) I was just there the other day. It's such a beautiful church with an amazing history (and yes, it is full of relics, not just of the cross.) With nearly 1,000 churches in Rome, it's hard to visit them all. I have not yet visited all of them! But some I visit more often than others. I particularly love this one for the beautiful floors and the mosaics in the apse. I'd love to do more videos about some of my favorite churches in Rome- in particular Santa Maria Maggiore. They are all on my list. So the reason I have not done a video about this church is that I simply haven't gotten to it yet. But thank you for your suggestion and for sharing your research!
