An old Roman house is now open to the public for the first time. You can see its beautiful paintings and floor designs online from home.

This important house was found in the early 1900s by people digging. It is on Palatine Hill, a very famous place near the Colosseum in Rome.

Important people lived on Palatine Hill during Rome's early times. Later, a big palace was built over these old homes by Emperor Domitian.

A guide will show the house using a special phone camera for everyone. This way, the old artwork stays safe from humidity and many visitors.

A rich family likely owned this very well-preserved house long ago. Virtual tours will start on Tuesdays from March 3rd each week.
