Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi
One of Rome's most remarkable historic residences, the Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi combines medieval architecture, archaeological significance and exceptional atmosphere.
Overlooking the Forum of Augustus and positioned directly above some of the most important remains of Ancient Rome, the complex offers an extraordinary setting for private visits, executive experiences, cultural programmes and selected events.
Unlike many of Rome's best-known landmarks, the Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi remains largely unknown to the general public, making it one of the city's most fascinating hidden treasures.
The History of the Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi
The history of the Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi is closely linked to the Knights of Rhodes, one of the most influential military and religious orders in the Mediterranean world.
The complex occupies a strategic position above the Forum of Augustus and incorporates structures connected to the ancient monumental landscape.
Over the centuries, the building evolved into a prestigious residence associated with one of Europe's most important chivalric institutions.
Today, it remains a rare example of a Roman historic residence where multiple layers of the city coexist within one architectural setting.
A Unique Position Above Ancient Rome
What makes the Casa dei Cavalieri di Rodi particularly remarkable is its location.
Few historic buildings in Rome offer such a direct relationship with the archaeological city below.
From its terraces and historic spaces, visitors enjoy exceptional views over the Forum of Augustus, one of the most significant archaeological areas of Imperial Rome.
The combination of medieval architecture and ancient Roman ruins creates an atmosphere unlike almost any other venue in the city.
