House of Livia and other Palatine Monuments are Open to the Public

The Ministro dei Beni e le Attività Culturali announces the opening of some of the most important though rarely viewed monuments on the Palatine. The New York Times reports that the House of Livia, as well as the House of Gryphons, one of the most important residences of Republican Rome, the Temple of Romulus in the Roman Forum and the Renaissance Loggia Mattei, all of which are normally closed to public visits, will be open through the end of July and periodically thereafter. The Colosseum will also be open for evening visits and concerts.
