Per one customer who booked the Private Tour - Capitoline Museums: "This was the most entertaining and enlightening tour we have been on. Our guide, Vincenzo, used his extensive knowledge to interact and engage with us for the entire time we had. It was fascinating to unravel misrepresented historical events and gain tangible insight."

Although Capitoline Hill—also called the Campidoglio—is the smallest of Rome’s seven ancient founding hills; it's considered one of the most important along with Palatine Hill. It houses the Temple of Jupiter, the Temple of Juno, and the Tabularium—and was ancient Rome's political and religious center.

Among the main attractions on Capitoline Hill in Rome are the ruins of the Temple of Jupiter, the Campidoglio, a public square designed by Michaelangelo himself, and a statue of a she-wolf of legend who nursed the twin founders of Rome. The hill is also the home of the vast Capitoline Museums.

The Capitoline Museums contain Renaissance artworks and classical Roman, Greek, and Egyptian sculptures and statues. When you visit, don’t miss the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, the only surviving statue of its kind, the Colossus Statue of Constantine, and the Bernini sculpture of Apollo and Daphne.

Yes, the Capitoline Museums in Rome are accessible. Visitors with limited mobility or those traveling on wheelchairs can access the museum's first floor from the courtyard of the Palazzo dei Conservatori via an elevator.
