About

The Domus Romane of Palazzo Valentini is a captivating archaeological museum situated in the heart of Rome, à short walk from the iconic Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Discovered during excavations in 2005, the site reveals the remains of two grand imperial-era Roman homes and a colossal temple once dedicated to the deified emperor Trajan. Guided by the legendary voice of Piero Angela, visitors experience a fully immersive, multilingual multimedia reconstruction—available in Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Russian—bringing the ancient city’s streets and domus interiors vividly to life. Stroll through mosaics, frescoes, and marble floors that echo the grandeur of imperial Rome, and marvel at the well-preserved ruins of a private bath and a monumental column.

A visit typically lasts about an hour for the Domus track, or 90 minutes if you include the adjoining Trajan’s Column.
