The palace is the main seat of the museum as well as the headquarters of the Agency of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities of Italy, in charge for the archaeological heritage of Rome. The museum houses the ancient art (sculptures, paintings, mosaics and goldsmiths’ crafts from the Republican Age to the Late Antiquity) as well as the numismatic collection. Thereafter, we continued with views of ancient Roman ruins including the enormous Colosseum. 

Lastly, we make a stop at the Fountain of Trevi where you may want to throw a coin into the fountain and make a wish!

This time round i took different views of it!
