Rome City Hall Square is located in the Capitolino Mountains, mountaineering on steep slopes, symmetrical trapezoidal, the front is completely open. The main building of the square is the Senate (now part of the Roman City Hall), whose facade has been adjusted by Michelangelo to build a bell tower. On one side of the square is the archive built in 1568, now the sculpture museum, on the other side is the museum built in 1655, now the painting museum. In the middle of the square was a bronze horse-riding statue of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelis (one of the five great Roman emperors, once reserved as a statue of the Christian Constantine Emperor and later moved here by Michelangelo). Three pairs of ancient stone statues are placed on the front railings of the square, creating a rich artistic scene. The square is a complex of architecture and sculpture, and is one of the most beautiful squares in Rome. Behind the square is the ruins of the ancient Roman square. We came here mainly to see the sculpture of wolf and child. We saw a very peculiar bronze statue - "a wolf opens her mouth and teeth, with vigilant eyes looking ahead. There are two male babies under her abdomen, sucking on the nipples of the wolf. Like Emperor Yan and Huang of China, legends are often associated with myths. It is said that the twin brothers "wolf children" established the Roman city. The location of this new town is exactly where the wolves found the survivors when the flood of the Tiber River receded. It is also the second stop we visited the day before yesterday, the Palatino Heights. Perhaps the Romans who grew up eating wolf milk must have a natural "wolf spirit" so they can dominate the world for more than 1000 years. A panoramic view of the ancient Roman Square can also be seen from the side of the City Hall Square.

    Very close to the Arc de Triomphe and the ruins area, passing by as you walk from the Colosseum to Plaza de España, a restored site with standard symmetrical architecture as the background.

    Cabitolio Plaza, Michelangelo is really often cross-border design, this square is also one of his designs, there is a museum on it is open, and there is a attraction is the statue of the Roman bitch. I thought this statue was very big, but I didn’t expect it to be so small. A little lost.

    A very important square in the center of Rome. It is a beautiful natural environment and can enjoy a very rich landscape. The environment and construction area of the entire square are also worth enjoying. [View] The whole scenery is also very beautiful [Fun] Fun place with high fun

    Capitorio Square is accessible on foot from ancient Roman ruins. The highlight is naturally the Capitorio Museum. There is a statue of the bronze wolf feeding the wolf from the name of the Roman city. I've seen a BBC documentary called meet the Romans before. It tells us about the common life of ancient Rome. Some scenes were filmed on the ground floor of the museum, explaining the interpretation of ancient Roman tombstones. It's very interesting.
