Villa of Maxentius

The villa of Maxentius, built in a panoramic position on the slope of a hill facing the Alban Hills, is an imperial villa in Rome that belonged to the Roman emperor Maxentius. The complex is located along the ancient Appian Way and consists of three main buildings: the palace, the circus of Maxentius and the dynastic mausoleum.

The remains of Massenzian buildings represent the last act of the transformation of an original rustic villa of the Republican era (II century BC) built in a scenic position on the slope of a hill facing the Alban Hills.

This a place worth visiting. Usually it opens during the weekdays and it is for free. Inside you'll be able to contemplate the beautiful Villagge that the last roman emperor has constructed for himself. There is a lot of peace inside and you can explore the ruins that this place maintains. If you are on a pilgrimage, it should be a good idea to stop here for a having a moment of tranquility and maybe time for a snack. Ah, if you are on bicycle, you'll have to leave it outside the place as it is not allowed to enter inside with it.
