"The Palazzo dei Conservatori is a Renaissance palace located on the Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. It is one of the two main buildings of the Capitoline Museums, along with the Palazzo Nuovo. The Palazzo dei Conservatori was built in the 15th century by Pope Sixtus IV. It was originally the seat of the Conservatori, a group of elected magistrates who governed the city of Rome. The Palazzo dei Conservatori houses a vast collection of ancient Roman and Renaissance art, including: The Capitoline Wolf, a bronze statue of a she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. The Dying Gaul, a Roman copy of a Greek original from the 3rd century BC. The Horse Tamers, a pair of bronze statues from the 2nd century AD. The Capitoline Venus, a Roman copy of a Greek original from the 4th century BC. "
