====Palazzo Caffarelli Clementino====
Adjacent and now serving as an annex to the Palazzo dei Conservatori is Palazzo Caffarelli Clementino; here, short-term exhibitions are held. The palazzo was built between 1576 and 1583 by Gregory Canonico for Gian Pietro Caffarelli II. The remaining ruins of the [[Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus]] were destroyed in order to construct the palace. <ref>{{Cite book|last=Platner |first=Samuel Ball |editor-first1=Thomas |editor-last1=Ashby |date=1929 |title=A Topographical Dictionary of Ancient Rome |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/cbo9781316219706 |publisher=Oxford University Press |pages=297–302 |doi=10.1017/cbo9781316219706|isbn=9781108083249 }}</ref> Until the cessation of World War I, the palazzo served as the German Embassy to Rome. Following the war, it was claimed by the [[Comune di Roma]], which demolished a large section of the palazzo's east wing to create the Caffarelli Terrace.
