Overview

Explore the remains of the Stadium of Domitian (UNESCO World Heritage), located beneath Piazza Navona, about 5 meters below ground. While Rome's Piazza Navona is a famous attraction, few know about its underground treasures. Descend below the famous square to visit the Roman archaeological dig, recently opened to the public in 2014.

Report at the Navona Square TOURISTATION office to redeem your voucher. The hosted entry tour starts with the visit of the NEW EXCLUSIVE OPENING venue: ancient spectators stands. You will then be exploring the former circus in all its dimensions, and find out more about the travertine blocks, brickwork and marble columns of the main entrances.

The Stadium of Domitian is hidden beneath Piazza Navona like some sort of buried treasure. With your Priority Entrance ticket you'll get to explore this subterranean space along with an audio guide. Learn how the site developed into the current piazza and the evolution of ancient Roman sports. Hear how up to 30.000 spectators were divided at the arena. Browse artefacts from the days of the Roman Empire found during archaeological excavations, including fragments of sculptures and a torso made from Pentelic marble from the quarries of Penteli north of Athens.

This unique UNESCO World Heritage Site was Rome's first permanent venue for gladiator games and competitive athletics. Travel back in time as you go through a selection of unpublished photographs, 3D reconstructions, videos and informative panels that tell the story of the Stadium of Domitian.
