Facts and practical information

The Museo Colle del Duomo is a museum in Viterbo, located in Piazza San Lorenzo.

The museum was founded on the occasion of the Jubilee of 2000. It was made possible thanks to the joint intervention of the episcopal curia of Viterbo and the Presidency of the Council of the Republic of Italy. Through the interest of Msgr. Lorenzo Chiarinelli, bishop of Viterbo at the time, and the late Msgr. Salvatore del Ciuco, the Museum's first director, a number of disused premises near the Cathedral of St. Lawrence were restored and set up as the Museum's own headquarters. From an artistic point of view, the layout was taken care of by master Alessio Paternesi.

The museum is part of the "monumental pole of the Viterbo Cathedral Hill," which also manages visits to the Palace of the Popes and the normally inaccessible rooms of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo.
