The Journey
Capitoline Hill
While the original description is missing, Capitoline Hill is one of the Seven Hills of Rome. It offers stunning panoramic views of the Roman Forum and the city. Historically, it was the citadel of early Rome, and later, the site of important temples. Michelangelo redesigned the Piazza del Campidoglio at the summit, making it a must-visit for its history, art, and breathtaking vistas.
Piazza del Campidoglio
Visit the Piazza del Campidoglio, a masterpiece of Renaissance urban planning redesigned by Michelangelo. Admire the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius at its center, a symbol of Roman power and wisdom. Discover the harmonious architecture and rich history of this iconic square, a testament to Michelangelo's genius and Rome's enduring legacy.
She-Wolf Statue
Behold the iconic bronze statue of the Capitoline She-Wolf, a symbol of Rome and its legendary founding. Depicting the she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus, the mythical founders of Rome, this powerful image embodies the city's ancient origins and enduring strength. Discover the captivating story behind this emblem of Roman identity.
Capitoline Museums

The museum complex itself, designed in part by Michelangelo, adds to the experience.
Marforio Statue
