Nero let 10 of Rome's 14 districts burn to the ground. Nero wanted to build a new palace complex called the Domus Aurea, also known as the Golden House. He began construction after the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, which he allegedly used to clear land for the project, according to historical accounts. The Domus Aurea was an incredibly lavish palace, taking up a large area of Rome and featuring opulent decorations, gardens, and even a man-made lake.
