Overview

Join your private guide for an unforgettable journey through the Capitoline Museums, located in the stunning Piazza del Campidoglio—an architectural masterpiece designed by Michelangelo himself. From this elegant square, enjoy breathtaking views over Rome before stepping inside one of the city's most prestigious museum complexes.

Begin your experience with a visit to the remains of the colossal statue of Emperor Constantine, a striking introduction to the grandeur of imperial Rome. As you move through richly decorated halls, your guide will reveal the fascinating stories behind priceless artifacts from the classical era.

In the grand hall with a glass ceiling, admire a curated selection of iconic sculptures, including:

  • The equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius
  • The dramatic Lion Attacking a Horse
  • The delicate Spinario (Boy with Thorn)
  • The bronze head of Constantine
  • And the Capitoline Wolf, symbol of the Eternal City

Continue through the ancient remains of the Temple of Jupiter, then descend into the Tabularium, a 4th-century BC archive whose arched gallery offers spectacular panoramic views of the Roman Forum—a genuinely unique perspective.

Your tour concludes in the new wing of the museum, home to some of the most admired works of classical sculpture:

  • The elegant Capitoline Venus
  • The powerful Dying Gaul
  • The expressive Red Faun
  • The romantic Cupid and Psyche
  • And the monumental Marforio, one of Rome’s legendary “talking statues”
