CAPITOL SQUARE - ROME, ITALY

ancient romeCapitol Square

The Capitol designed by Michelangelo in 1536. 

This splendid Renaissance palace is now the seat of city government built on the ruins of the Acropolis, the religious and political center of ancient Rome.

The great staircase leading to the Capital building is presided by two colossal statues of Castor and Pollux.

The great Equestrian statue of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius emphasized the geometrical quality of the square, one of the clearest spatial solutions of the Renaissance.

 

In order not to leave the square without a fundamental reference point a copy of the Equestrian statue stands in its place.

 

You'll leave with fond memories that will last a life time.
