About Mausoleum of Augustus
The Mausoleum of Augustus is a large tomb built by the Roman emperor Augustus in 28 BC on the Campus Martius in Rome, Italy. The mausoleum is located on the Piazza Augusto Imperatore, near the corner with Via di Ripetta as it runs along the Tiber. The grounds cover an area equivalent to a few city blocks nestled between the church of San Carlo al Corso and the Museum of the Ara Pacis. After being closed for fourteen years for restoration work, the mausoleum was temporarily reopened to the public in March 2021. However, the mausoleum has been temporarily closed from June 2022 due to the renovation work in Piazza Augusto Imperatore.
