Category Image Palace of Emperor Augustus Reopens to Public 


I saw this little blurb from the Times Online about the palace of Emperor Augustus being reopened early next year.

The palace of the Emperor Augustus on the Palatine Hill will partially reopen to the public on March 2 after years of restoration work, officials said yesterday. Since the palace was closed in the 1980s, at least £8.6 million has been spent on the porticoed garden of Rome's first emperor. Work has included the repair of precious frescoes that had been reduced to fragments.


Even though I can't read Italian, I did find some photos from the palace at Italy's Culture Ministry:
