Domus Liceo Cavour

Rome, Italy

The Domus Liceo Cavour (or the Domus of the Cavour Lyceum) is an ancient Roman domus (luxury house) dating back to the mid-second century A.D. The archaeological site is located directly beneath the gymnasium of the Liceo Scientifico Cavour in Rome, Italy, in close proximity to the Colosseum. Rediscovered through student exploration and subsequent excavation in early 2026, the villa features well-preserved frescoed walls, stucco ceilings, and mosaic flooring. The site is located in a central sector of ancient Rome between the Carinae and the Esquiline Hill (l’Esquilino).
