Description
Capitoline Museums, colossal statues. The Capitoline Museums Musei Capitolini are located in the Piazza del Campidoglio and constitute the main municipal museum in Rome. The creation of the Capitoline Museums began with the donation of a collection of bronzes by Pope Sixtus IV in 1471, which makes it one of the oldest museums in the world. The museum is composed of two imposing buildings located in the Piazza del Campidoglio: the Palazzo dei Conservatori Palazzo dei Conservatori and the Palazzo Nuovo Palazzo Nuovo. Both buildings are linked by means of the Lapidary Galleria, an underground passage that crosses the Plaza del Campidoglio without having to leave the museums.
