Classical art &
industrial archaeology
Centrale Montemartini4
Why locals love it
Most locals don’t even know about this extraordinary place. It’s a weird museum where the white curves of classical statues contrast with the black metal of old machinery, making for a truly surreal experience.



Why you should visit it
This disused 19th century power station is now home to one of the best collections of Greek and Roman statues in the world. It’s a fascinating example of industrial archaeology converted into a museum.
Special tip
You can still smell the odour of the machinery.
