Piazza del Campidoglio | Capitoline Hill in Rome

As the historic centre of Rome, the Capitoline Hill is the most significant of the seven hills that Rome was founded on. The Piazza del Campidoglio is the large public square that now sits atop the Capitoline Hill, and was designed by Michelangelo in the 16th century. Since the Middle Ages, the Piazza del Campidoglio has been the seat of civil administration in Rome, and to this day, has remained a symbolic landmark and prominent gathering space.

Pantheon in Rome, Italy

Founded between 113-125 AD, the Pantheon in Rome, Italy was originally a Roman temple and later a Catholic church. It remains notable for its large dome, still the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. The Pantheon is also one of the best preserved buildings from Ancient Rome, due largely to the fact that it's remained in regular use throughout its entire lifespan.
