  • The Capitoline Museums are located in the center of the city, in Piazza del Campidoglio, and are the main municipal museum of Rome and one of the oldest in the world – a repository of ancient Roman artefacts.

These two palaces contain an impressive collection of Roman paintings and sculptures, exhibited to the delight of visitors and are connected by the Lapidary Gallery, an underground passage that crosses the square, without having to leave the museums.
