Welcome to Palazzo Altemps: A Renaissance Jewel in Rome
Tucked away near Piazza Navona, Palazzo Altemps isn’t just another museum — it’s a portal to centuries of history. Originally built in the 15th century and later acquired by Cardinal Marco Sittico Altemps in 1568, the palace has retained its architectural charm and aristocratic elegance. Since 1997, it has been a part of the National Roman Museum, housing a remarkable collection of classical antiquities, rare sculptures, and historical artifacts.
When you book with TPO.Travel, your visit begins with reserved entrance tickets that let you skip the notoriously long queues and step directly into the grandeur of Rome’s artistic past.

An Artistic Time Capsule: What to See at Palazzo Altemps
Once inside the palace, you are free to wander through ornate rooms and galleries at your own pace, absorbing centuries of art and culture. TPO.Travel recommends allowing at least 1–2 hours to fully appreciate the treasures within.
Greek and Roman Sculptures
Palazzo Altemps is renowned for its awe-inspiring Greek and Roman sculptures, many of which were collected by noble Roman families during the Renaissance. You’ll encounter powerful marble figures, expressive busts, and mythological scenes that bring ancient beliefs and histories to life.
Don’t miss the Ludovisi Collection, one of the highlights of the museum. The dramatic “Galatian Suicide” statue captures a haunting moment of despair and nobility, while the Ludovisi Throne exudes both grace and mystery. These pieces are more than art — they are storytelling in stone.
Sant’Aniceto Church
Hidden within the palace walls lies a surprise for many visitors — the fresco-adorned Church of Sant’Aniceto. Dating back to the 17th century, the church still holds traces of its sacred past, with intricate designs and spiritual ambiance that invite quiet contemplation.
Egyptian Collection and Rare Books
Rome’s fascination with ancient Egypt is evident in the Boncompagni-Ludovisi Egyptian Collection, which includes sphinxes, obelisks, and statues from the land of the pharaohs. Pair that with a remarkable library of rare Renaissance and Baroque books, and you have a multidimensional museum experience that bridges the classical with the scholarly.
Recovered Masterpieces
One of the more intriguing aspects of Palazzo Altemps is its collection of recovered artworks — pieces salvaged from antique markets and private holdings, offering a unique glimpse into the lesser-known narratives of Roman art. These works, many restored with care, speak volumes about the city’s dedication to preserving its cultural roots.
