Remains of the top floors of an insula near the Capitolium and the Insula dell'Ara Coeli in Rome. In Roman architecture, an insula (Latin for "island", pl.: insulae) was one of two things: either a kind of apartment building, or a city block. [1] [2] [3] This article deals with the former definition, that of a type of apartment building.
The Latin word insula (lit. ' island ' ; pl. : insulae ) was used in Roman cities to mean either a city block in a city plan (i.e. a building area surrounded by four streets) [ 1 ] or later a type of apartment building that occupied such a city block specifically in Rome and nearby Ostia .
The Insula dell'Ara Coeli is one of the few surviving examples of an insula, the kind of apartment blocks where many Roman city dwellers resided. [1] It was built during the 2nd century AD, and rediscovered, under an old church, when Benito Mussolini initiated a plan for massive urban renewal of Rome's historic Capitoline Hill neighbourhood.
