Baths of Diocletian
Where: Piazza della Repubblica Built by the Emperor Diocletian between the third and fourth centuries, on a grandiose design, they could receive up to 3000 people. They included three covered pools called "Calidarium" (hot water), "Tepidarium" (warm water), and "Frigidarium" (cold water), as well as libraries, gymnasiums, streets, and open swimming pools.
Now the baths contain the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, built by Michaelangelo at the request of Pius IV and later redesigned by Vanvitelli.
In the vestibule are the tombs of Salvator Rosa and Carlo Maratta.
Next to the church is the Wax Museum, where the most important people of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are represented.
Of particular importance is the Roman National Museum, partly established in the Baths of Diocletian, partly in the ex-convent of the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
Some sections of the museum have been transferred to the palace of the ex-Collegio Massimo, in Piazza del Cinquecento.
