Palazzo Senatorio in Rome is a historic building from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. Her design was developed by Michelangelo. Today it is the seat of municipal authorities. Inside, you can admire the Hall of Julius Caesar with a large statue of the ruler placed in the niche of one of the walls.
The bell tower designed by Martino Longhi the Elder towers over the building. In front of the palace, in Piazza del Campidoglio, stands the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. He was moved here from the Lateran Palace on the initiative of Michelangelo.
In one of the palace rooms, frescoes were discovered, probably from the first half of the fourteenth century. They present, among others St. Piotr and Paweł and the figure of "Triumphant Jesus".
The palace was built on the ruins of an old tabularium (city archive), in which the most important state documents were stored - on rolls of papyrus and parchment.
