The Palatine Museum, located in the former convent of the Nuns of the Visitation, is one of the most important and impressive museums in Rome. Built on top of the Palatine Hill, the museum houses numerous archaeological finds that tell the story of the city from the origins of Rome to the advent of the Principality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The museum has two floors: on the ground floor are the rooms that preserve the original structures of the pre-existing domus, where the history of the Palatine Hill is narrated. On the first floor, on the other hand, numerous exhibits can be admired, including artefacts from the time of Augustus, the emperor who first changed the appearance of the Palatine Hill, and mosaics and precious paintings from Nero's Domus Transitoria.<\/p>

The museum was set up in 1868 on the remains of Domitian's palace and, in the 1930s, the archaeologist Alfonso Bartoli set up the new Palatine Antiquarium. Thanks to his initiatives, the museum was set up again and improved in usability, also thanks to multimedia installations, on the occasion of the Augustan Bimillenary.<\/p>

During the Second World War, many of the materials found in the numerous excavations that had taken place on the Palatine Hill since the second half of the 19th century were transferred to the Museum of the Baths of Diocletian. Only a small part of the collection finally returned to the Palatine after the conflict.<\/p>

For those who want to learn about the history of Rome and the Palatine Hill, the museum offers a very interesting and exciting visit. The beauty of the exhibits and the suggestive location of the museum make the visiting experience extremely attractive and engaging.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
