Piazza del Campidoglio is located on Capitoline Hill in Rome and was designed by Michelangelo in 1538. It is flanked by three palaces: the Palazzo Nuovo, the Palazzo Senatorio, and the Palazzo dei Conservatori. The Palazzo Senatorio houses the Rome City Council, while the Palazzo Nuovo and the Palazzo dei Conservatori are part of the Capitoline Museums. You can already feel its grandeur and magnificence as you approach from across the street.
Piazza Navona is one of the most distinctive squares in Rome, located in the heart of the historic district, adjacent to the Pantheon. It was designed and built by the genius sculptor Bernini. The Baroque palatial architecture, exquisite fountains, and romantic cafes have earned it the reputation of being 'Rome's most beautiful square'.
St. Peter's Square boasts a grandeur that complements St. Peter's Basilica. The square encapsulates the architectural essence of various eras and is one of the largest public spaces in the world. The fountains on the sides of the square and the central obelisk are its symbols. The colonnades of the square feature over 140 sculptures, all created by Bernini and his students, depicting religious figures. At the center of the square stands an obelisk brought to Rome by Caligula from ancient Greek Heliopolis. It is said that the copper ball atop the obelisk contains the ashes of Caesar.
Piazzale Michelangelo was built in 1869 and designed by architect Giuseppe Poggi to commemorate the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo. The replica of David in the square is surrounded by bronze replicas of the sculptures 'Day', 'Night', 'Dawn', and 'Dusk' from the Medici Chapel.
The Spanish Steps appeared in the movie 'Roman Holiday', becoming a well-known symbol of Rome. Audrey Hepburn's fresh and bright image seems to have merged with the Spanish Steps and the beautiful city of Rome, becoming an everlasting memory for people. The Spanish Steps are now one of Rome's famous attractions.
