Palazzo Altemps

A new site for ancient sculptures

44 Piazza di Santa Apollinare
Rome 00186
+39 064815576

After 15 years of restoration, the Renaissance Palazzo Altemps has reopened. The lovely Ludovisi collection, at the Museo Nazionale Romano with many figures of mythological heroes can once more be admired. Much of the statuary is Roman but produced in Greek style. Some works are 2000 years old. The Ludovisi throne showing the birth of Venus is the most famous of the statues. Free of charge for minors and seniors.
