Christine Kuan
★★★★★2 years agoBooking required in advance This is very fun for children 6+ even, it shows an ancient Roman house using lights and projections to tell the story of what archaeologists have found and what they imagine. It is 1 hour long and requires standing the whole time, also a bit dark and with steps so bear in mind for mobility reasons. I liked it because it helps you visualise the originals from the ruins and even has the longest ever found intact Roman stairs (longer than Pompeii!).

★★★★★10 months agoThe best way to experience archaeological ruins for a lay person. The site comes alive through projected lights and sound, transforming broken stones into vivid reconstructions. You can clearly envision what once stood here. I first visited as a college student 13 years ago and was deeply impressed. Returning now with my family, I was moved anew. The blend of tour narration, lighting, music, and storytelling is clearly a labor of love by the team. This should be considered a top site in Rome, right alongside the more famous monuments. Unlike other ruins where imagination does all the work, here the past is illuminated before your eyes.
