Mausoleum of Augustus

Mausoleum of Augustus is a large imperial tomb in Rome, Italy, built by the Roman Emperor Augustus in 28 BC. It stands on Piazza Augusto Imperatore, near the corner with Via di Ripetta along the Tiber, and its grounds cover an area comparable to a few city blocks between the church of San Carlo al Corso and the Museum of the Ara Pacis. After fourteen years of restoration, it reopened to the public in March 2021, so it works well as a short historical stop.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• A close look at one of ancient Rome’s major burial monuments, created by Augustus himself in 28 BC.
• A clear sense of the monument’s urban setting, with the site placed on Piazza Augusto Imperatore and close to the Tiber, San Carlo al Corso, and the Museum of the Ara Pacis.
• A restored archaeological site that spent fourteen years closed before welcoming visitors again in March 2021.

If you are planning a visit, check the opening hours ahead of time and wear comfortable shoes, since this is best enjoyed as a calm city stop rather than a long excursion. It is a strong choice for travelers interested in Roman history, archaeology, and a quiet bit of sightseeing in central Rome.
