Palazzo Senatorio, Renaissance palace in Capitoline Hill, Italy
The Palazzo Senatorio stands on the highest point of Capitoline Hill, featuring a symmetrical façade with double staircases and classical architectural elements.
Michelangelo and Giacomo della Porta transformed the medieval structure into its current Renaissance form during extensive renovations between 1538 and 1605.
The building houses the municipal government of Rome, continuing its centuries-old tradition as the center of civic administration since the 12th century.
Visitors can access the palace through the Cordonata, a wide ceremonial staircase that connects the Piazza del Campidoglio to the street level below.
The palace incorporates the ancient Roman Tabularium in its foundation, preserving the structure that once stored official state documents of the Roman Republic.
