Piazza del Campidoglio – The Forum’s Overlook Designed by Michelangelo

#romanforum Perched above the Roman Forum, Piazza del Campidoglio is one of Rome’s most elegant squares, designed by Michelangelo in the 16th century. This historic piazza sits on the Capitoline Hill, the most important of ancient Rome’s seven hills, offering breathtaking views over the Forum’s ruins. The square is home to the Capitoline Museums, which house numerous artifacts from the Forum, including inscriptions, statues, and fragments of its temples. In the center stands the equestrian statue of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a symbol of imperial power. Walking through the piazza feels like stepping into a space where ancient Rome and Renaissance Rome meet, making it a perfect transition point before or after visiting the Forum. Whether admiring the architecture or enjoying the panoramic terrace, Piazza del Campidoglio is a must-visit for those looking to appreciate the Forum’s grandeur from above.
