Long closed to visitors and only known to researchers, “La Casa dei Grifi” is a Republican-era residence located on the Palatine Hill, at the heart of ancient Rome. For decades, the domus has remained inaccessible due to its fragile condition and the challenges linked to conservation.
But that is set to change next month as the house, which dates back to between the late second and the mid-first century BC, will finally welcome visitors. According to Paola Quaranta, archaeologist and site manager of the Palatine Hill and the Colosseum, the site is exceptional both for its age and its state of preservation.
