The Mausoleum of Augustus was built as an elaborate burial chamber for Octavian, the first Roman Emperor in 28 BC.
Since the 1970's, the unusual circular construction was closed to the public in a state of disrepair, but was reopened in March 2021 after a €6 million grant to restore it. Situated close to the Ara Pacis museum, it's now one of the most important visitor sites in Rome. |
