The Palace of the Conservatives
The palace of the Conservatives is located in Capitol Square, right in front of the Senatorial Palace and the New Palace. The palace of the Conservatives and the New Palace, along with Tabularium constitute the venue of the Capitoline Museums. Since the Middle Ages the Palace was the residence of the Conservatives, judges elected by the people to administer the city. Later Pope Nicholas V commissioned Michelangelo the renovation project. The work was completed by the students of Michelangelo.
In 1876 the building was used as a museum.
