The Campidoglio is the center of the political life of the city of Rome. The current square and the facades of the three buildings that face it were designed by Michalangelo; however, he died before the project was completed. In the center of the sqaure stands a statue of Marcus Aurelius. The above photograph was taken from the top of the Aracoeli Staircase.

In the courtyard of the Palazzo dei Conservatori fragments of a huge sculpture of the Emperor Constantine are on display.

The head from this statue is about four feet tall.
