The director of the Colosseum Archeological Park, which includes the Palatine Hill, in a written description of the restored palazzo, dubbed it “the power palace par excellence.” Excavations uncovered artifacts from centuries of Roman life following the decline of the empire. The public is now able to tour it, following decades of structural restoration work to shore the palace up for safety reasons. The sprawling palace allows for sweeping views of the Roman Forum below.
The nearly 2,000-year-old Domus Tiberiana was home to rulers in the ancient city’s Imperial period. An ancient Roman imperial palazzo atop the city's Palatine Hill was reopened to tourists on Thursday, nearly 50 years after its closure for restoration.
