Museum of the Baths of Diocletian

The Museum of the Baths of Diocletian displays Roman artifacts within the preserved structure of ancient public baths spanning 120,000 square meters.

The complex was constructed between 298 and 306 CE under Emperor Diocletian's rule, functioning as public baths until 537 when the Goths cut the water supply.

The museum collection includes Roman sculptures, sarcophagi, and funerary art, presented among the original architecture of thermal baths and gardens.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:30 PM, with entrance tickets granting access to all four buildings of the National Roman Museum.

In 1561, Michelangelo transformed sections of the ancient baths into the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, incorporating the original Roman walls and structures.
