"Nero's Great Palace"

Said to have been much larger than the Colosseum at the height of Nero's reign, it took 15 years of restoration work before the remaining rooms of this immense palace were opened to the public. Its interior is covered with frescoes, gold, gemstones, and mother-of-pearl, and its ceilings are tiled in ivory, with openings for creating a shower of flowers and perfumes. After Nero's death, his successors attempted to eradicate his memory and eliminate every possible trace of this palace; fortunately for history, Domus Aurea remained. Of the many masterpieces unearthed here was the famous Laocoön statue now on display at the Vatican Museums.
