The Baths of Diocletian were completed in 306 AD as the largest of Rome's imperial bathing complexes, able to hold as many as 3,000 bathers at once. They stayed in use for over two centuries, until the Ostrogoths cut Rome's aqueducts during the siege of 537 AD and the baths, deprived of water, fell silent.
In the 1560s, Pope Pius IV commissioned Michelangelo to repurpose the ruined frigidarium and tepidarium into the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri and to design the charterhouse's great cloister alongside it. Construction of the cloister only began in 1565, the year after Michelangelo's death, and its upper floors weren't finished until 1676 — a project he designed but never lived to see built, carried out on 100 travertine columns across one of the largest cloisters in Italy.
The National Roman Museum opened inside that same cloister and its surrounding monastery buildings in 1889, and now holds one of Italy's major collections of ancient Roman sculpture and inscriptions — a half-day arc from a 4th-century bathhouse to a 16th-century cloister to a 19th-century museum, all on one site.
