The Piazza del Campidoglio is the beautiful square atop of the Capitoline Hill that was designed by one of Rome's most revered Renaissance geniuses – Michelangelo! This modern day marvel offers an impressive sight of St Peter’s Basilica in the political centre of Rome. With the imposing bronze equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius in the middle and majestic architectural facades, it’s no wonder why thousands of tourists flock to the square year round. Don't forget to visit the sculpture of the Capitoline Wolf that stands between the Palazzo Senatorio and Palazzo Nuovo - the original piece is housed in the neighboring Capitoline Museums, so don't miss your chance!
