Palazzo Altemps, Archaeological museum in Ponte district, Rome, Italy
A Renaissance palace houses ancient Roman and Greek sculptures across two floors arranged around a central courtyard with a monumental fountain.
Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps acquired the palace in 1568, transforming it into a residence that showcases the architectural styles of the 16th century.
The museum displays the Boncompagni Ludovisi collection, featuring remarkable marble works including the Gaul Killing Himself and the Grande Ludovisi sarcophagus.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:30 to 19:00, with combined tickets granting access to all four branches of the National Roman Museum.
The palace contains the Church of San Aniceto within its walls and presents Egyptian artifacts from the sanctuary of Isis in the Campus Martius.
