Piazza del Campidoglio

Amazing architecture and beautiful sights from outside and inside the square. Visited in late September at noon and the atmosphere was super lovely. Won't hesitate to come here once more as I get a chance.

Nice place. Required some effort to go to the top Can have a nice view at Rome here

From the top of the Capitoline Hill, you are afforded a bird's eye view across the whole site of Imperial Rome's Forum. There's also the bonus of the Capitoline Museum for which you would need a good chunk of time to explore. From the Capitoline square, you can also visit the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli which is a hidden gem in Rome.

This is Michelangelo's beautiful square atop Capitoline Hill. I enjoy spending a few minutes here during trips to Rome, viewing the numerous monuments at Piazza del Campidoglio before going into the Capitoline Museum. The environs here are quaint and charming, a view of what Rome considered its first modern square back in the mid 16th-century.

Great place for Artists and Media Events. Fully respect, elegance hall with wonderful history. Thank you for Award @hairlifeprofessional

Come early or prepare for lots of people. Either way, it's worth visiting once.

Beautiful square at the top Capitoline Hill, right next to the Capitoline Museums (also a must see). You get a nice view of Rome, and it’s even more beautiful in the evening, as the sun sets and the city lights up.

Scale the steps to spoil your eyes. A new prime location on earth. Must visit if in Rome, there isn’t much else like this on the planet so make sure you come here! There’s plenty to see & the scale is fascinating. Italy truly is a place of beauty. What more can we say…

After the Alter of the Fatherland, we visited this. Nearby, 2 min walks. Again lots of stairs to reach the top. This square is located on top of Capitol Hill. It was an important place of worship dedicated to Roman gods, with a large Temple of Jupiter which has since disappeared. Today it is the seat of the municipality of Rome. Rome is all about Michelangelo, isn't it? This place is also designed by Master Michelangelo who remodeled the facades of the existing buildings and designed the monumental staircase that accesses it. It is square in shape, it is framed by three main buildings: 1- The Senatorial Palace (Palazzo Senatorio, on the right-hand side of the square), this is the Town Hall; 2- Palazzo dei Conservatori, the home of the Capitoline Picture Gallery, 3- Capitoline Museums (left side of the square). In the center is a copy of the bronze equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius , yes he was Roman Emperor too. Wandering around here for 30 minutes especially in the evening was a blessing. Behind this, you can see remains at the Roman forum.

Piazza del Campidoglio is a very pretty square in Roma, Italy. This hilltop square is lined with museums and government buildings and offers panoramic views of the Roman forum. Piazza del Campidoglio was designed by Michelangelo in 1538 as part of the revival plan of the Capitoline Hill. Three Roman government buildings, the Palazzo dei Conservatori, the Senatorio, and the Nuovo surround the piazza. A replica of the equestrian statue of the emperor Marcus Aurelius stands in the middle of the piazza. (The original statue is located nearby in the Palazzo dei Conservatori.) I highly recommend visiting this spot in Rome if you want to take some breathtaking pictures of the Forum.

Designed by Michelangelo, Campidoglio is Rome's city hall square on the the same hill that has ruled Rome for millennia - the Capitoline Hill. Ascend the intentionally shallow stairway "cordonata" so your vista slowly expands as you climb higher. Admire the beautiful Renaissance-era palaces that still serve as Rome's city halls in conjunction as the Capitoline Museums. Appreciate how Michelangelo used the building arrangement and even the ground pattern to create one of the unique plazas that you may have seen! If you are traveling toward the Roman ruins area from the north, I highly recommend making this your starting point, because after you admire the Renaissance-era piazza, you will be rewarded with an impressive sneak-peek view of the Roman Forum after! Even if you are traveling from the other direction, you can also look back toward that you have admire and appreciate Michelangelo's beautiful remix of the Capitoline Hill. --- tl;dr version: 1) Michelangelo's design on Capitoline Hill 2) Excellent starting point for a Roman ruins itinerary

Piazza del Campidoglio is a beautiful plaza designed by Michelangelo. Take the steps up and see the Musei Capitolini. You can also take the stairs on the left, which takes you to see the Basilica di Santa Maria in Ara Coeli. One of the more popular places in Capitoline Hill. A very touristy plazas. Very busy with people taking pictures. Also very close to other very popular sites of Rome.

Don't miss this. It's a bucket list for sure. My advise is to google it and know the history before you go that way you will get the most out of your guide.

Cool view of the remnants of the past.... You need a bit of imagination to really grasp what this looked like in its day. The ruins are pretty dilapidated and they do not allow you to go look around in the area... You'll pass by here going to the coliseum so stop by and check it out...

Yet another masterpiece of the urban planners art, the Campidoglio, or Capitol Hill, is stunning - on the one hand with views over the ancient Roman Foum and on the other with amazing views over Rome . . . oh, and there are hugely informative and well stocked museums up here too! In the case of the Campidoglio, the urban planner was none other than that genius Michelangelo. Get a decent guide book for the detail and especially the fascinating history of this area from it's Etruscan roots to its Imperial glory and into the present day via Michelangelo's remodelling and resiting of the statues of Castor and Pollux.

Beautiful square, designed by Michelangelo Buonarroti, features an semi circle courtyard with a beautiful figure sculpture. Great meeting place to find others. The steps are not steep and very easy to ascend to the top.
