Roma Church (Swedish: Roma kyrka) is a medieval Lutheran church in Lövsta, Gotland (Sweden), in the Diocese of Visby.
The presently visible church was preceded by a considerably smaller, Romanesque church. Some fragments from this church have been re-used and incorporated in the façade of the later church. The still extant sacristy is also a remnant of this earlier church.
The earlier church was torn down and successively replaced with one more Gothic in style during the 13th century. It was built between 1215 and 1255; dendrochronological examinations have shown that the latest additions were made in 1280. The nave and choir seem to have been erected during a single period of construction, possibly with the exception for the westernmost part of the nave, which is slightly different in style. A tower was evidently planned for the church but never executed. Influences for the somewhat unusual architecture may have come from nearby Roma Abbey and thus the traditions of Cistercian architecture. The church has remained largely unaltered since the Middle Ages. The large western rose window was however added in the 1880s and the church underwent a renovation in 1902.
The church seems to have had a special function. It was built close to the location of the thing of all of Gotland, and not far from a Cistercian monastery, Roma Abbey. Unlike a regular church, it had five entrances (instead of three) and its architecture differs from other churches on Gotland. The likeness of the church with that of the Dominicans in Visby (now ruined) is noticeable. There is therefore reason to believe that the church may have been used by the Dominicans, possibly to preach for crusades against non-Christians in what is today the Baltic states.

Roma kyrka är en kyrkobyggnad som tillhör Roma församling i Visby stift.
Den medeltida kalkstenskyrkan i Roma kyrkby består av ett treskeppigt långhus med ett smalare rakt avslutat kor i öster samt sakristia på nordsidan. Sakristian, som är äldst, byggdes ursprungligen till ett absidkor från 1100-talets senare hälft (absidstenar återfinns i nuvarande kyrkans murverk). Vid en senare byggnadsperiod (troligen på 1200-talet) uppfördes kor och långhus (tre travéer); avvikelser i valvform och fönsterutformning tyder på att de två västligaste travéerna tillkom något senare. Utifrån sett är kyrkan en basilika med låg klerestorievåning. En takryttare, åttkantig tornspira med klockvåning under skärmtak, kröner västgaveln. Koret täcks av ett lägre sadeltak och sakristian har pulpettak. En igenmurad tornbåge i västmuren vittnar om ett planerat men ej utfört västtorn. Av kyrkans fem portaler (fyra långhusportaler och en korportal) har långhusets nord- respektive sydportal rikast utformning. En stenfigur på östra korgaveln (vattenkastare) tros härröra från den äldre kyrkan. Västgavelns rundfönster med masverk av huggen kalksten är från 1880-talet. Kyrkorummet är av hallkyrkomodell där mittskeppets kryssvalv är något högre än sidoskeppens. Långhuset har nio kryssvalv som bärs upp av fyra tunga pelare. Koret, som också är kryssvälvt, lyses upp av östväggens trefönstergrupp och av ett sydfönster. I norra kormuren finns en nisch med snidad omfattning av trä, ett sakramentsskåp från 1200-talet. Kyrkans nygotiska inredning härstammar från en restaurering 1902.
Den äldre altartavlan från 1656 är målad av Johan Bartsch och hänger numera i långhuset.

I Musei Capitolini sono il principale museo civico comunale di Roma e fanno parte del Sistema dei Musei in comune. Si parla di "musei", al plurale, in quanto alla originaria raccolta di sculture antiche fu aggiunta da Benedetto XIV, nel XVIII secolo, la Pinacoteca, di soggetti prevalentemente romani.
La sede storica dei Capitolini è costituita dal Palazzo dei Conservatori e dal Palazzo Nuovo, edifici che affacciano sulla michelangiolesca Piazza del Campidoglio.
The Capitoline Museums (Italian Musei Capitolini) are a group of art and archeological museums in Piazza del Campidoglio, on top of the famous Capitoline Hill in Rome, Italy. The museums are contained in three palazzi surrounding a central trapezoidal piazza in a plan conceived by Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1536 and executed over a period of over 400 years. The history of the museums can be traced to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated a collection of important ancient bronzes to the people of Rome and located them on Capitoline Hill. Since then, the museums' collection has grown to include a large number of ancient Roman statues, inscriptions, and other artifacts; a collection of medieval and Renaissance art; and collections of jewels, coins, and other items. The museums are owned and operated by the municipality of Rome.
