Ara Pacis Museum: Tickets & Opening Hours
Among the main attractions in Rome, the Ara Pacis certainly stands out, kept inside the clear white, linear-shaped pavilion, designed by architect Richard Meier in 2006. Inside this contemporary museum, located between the Roman Hills and the Tiber River, just 10 minutes far from the Spanish Steps, there’s the Ara Pacis, an altar dedicated to the Roman Goddess of Peace.

Ara Pacis Augustae, Significance & History
The first fragments of the Ara Pacis were brought to light in 1568.
