The Campidoglio in Rome is one of the seven historic hills where the city was founded and developed. It is a place steeped in history and religious and political significance. At the top of the Capitol stands a temple dedicated to the "Capitoline Triad," composed of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. For centuries, it has been the seat of government in Rome and currently houses the City Hall. You can access the Capitol square via the Aracoeli staircase or the ramp called the "cordonata," which was designed by Michelangelo in the 16th century. In the square, you can also find statues such as those of Castor and Pollux.
