The Palatine Hill offers some of the best panoramic views of Roman culture and heritage from the top: the Circus Maximum stadium and Aventine Hill on one side, and the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Capitol Hill at the other. It is also home to the Palatine Museum, where you can discover ancient Roman artifacts.

He built the Domus Aurea after the great fire in 64 AD had destroyed a large part of the city. It replaced and extended his Domus Transitoria, which was the first palace complex he had built on the site
The Domus Aurea was constructed over a span of 4 years (64 - 68 AD), but was never completed as the emperor Nero died shortly after. In 104, it was destroyed in a fire. In it's short lifetime, the Golden House, adorned with the finest marble, exquisite wall paintings, gilded arcades, ornamentals fountains and gardens, played host to many wild parties.
