The Capitoline Museum is actually made up of two palaces. Palazzo Nuovo is the smaller building and was opened to the public in 1734 by Pope Clement XII. This Palace houses a display of Greek and Roman sculptures; portrait busts of Greek politicians, scientists and poets can be viewed in the Hall of the Philosophers. The larger palace – the Palazzo dei Conservatori, was the seat of the city’s magistrates during the late Middle Ages and its halls are decorated with colourful frescos. There are paintings here by Van Dyck, Tintoretto, Veronese and Caravaggio.
