The Cestia Pyramid reopens to the public with a route that combines protection and accessibility

The Pyramid of Cestius has reopened to the public after three years of restoration, featuring new lighting, a fully renovated archaeological area, and a schedule of free daytime and evening visits. The reopening, planned from September 4 to October 31, includes a renewed visitor path designed to balance preservation, accessibility, and cultural promotion. The interventions were carried out by the Special Superintendent of Rome under the Pnrr - Caput Mundi program. The pyramid, built between 18 and 12 BCE by Gaius Cestius Epulone, is the only surviving Egyptian-style building in Rome after Egypt became a Roman province. Free visits will occur every Friday of the month, with additional free daytime openings in September and October, requiring advance booking until capacity is reached. The project aims to enhance visitor experience through improved safety, accessibility, and inclusivity.
