Devil's Chair, Ancient Roman tomb monument in Viale Somalia, Rome, Italy.

The Sedia del Diavolo consists of a towering red brick structure with an angular shape that emerges from the surrounding urban environment.

Built in the second century AD, this funerary monument served as the final resting place for Elio Callisto, a notable figure during the Roman Empire.

Local residents have passed down generations of stories about this structure, naming it the Devil's Chair due to its distinctive angular formation.

The monument stands near the intersection of Via Nomentana and Viale Somalia, accessible through Rome's public transportation system or by private vehicle.

This Roman tomb incorporates architectural elements of both brick and concrete, demonstrating construction techniques from the imperial period.
