Insula dell’Ara Coeli

The Insula dell'Ara Coeli is one of the few surviving examples of an insula, the kind of apartment blocks where many Roman city dwellers resided. It was built during the 2nd century AD, and rediscovered under an old church when Benito Mussolini initiated a plan for massive urban renewal of Rome's historic neighbourhood.
