Piazza del Campidoglio
Piazza del Campidoglio, designed by Michelangelo in 1536, sits on a hill with a history dating back to ancient Rome. Visitors will find the impressive equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius at its center, and the Cordonata steps leading up are themselves a design spectacle. Best for lovers of Renaissance architecture and those curious about Rome's layered past.
