The Capitoline Hill, known in Italian as Campidoglio, has a rich history that dates back to ancient Rome. It was once the citadel of the earliest Romans and the site of a temple for the Capitoline Triad, which was considered one of the largest and most beautiful temples in the city. Today, the hill is notable for the Capitoline Museums and the Piazza del Campidoglio, Michelangelo's Renaissance-era public square that provides a stunning view of the Roman Forum.
