We visit the Capitoline Hill, the original focus of Ancient Rome and still the heart of the city's government. We see Romulus and Remus, the twin founders of the city; learn how Michelangelo created a stunning, disciplined ensemble out of scattered existing buildings; enjoy the views over the Roman Forum, and see the Tabularium where the Roman archives were kept. Finally we visit the fascinating church of Santa Maria Aracoeli, on the site of the temple of Juno Moneta and the Roman mint. This Podtour can be combined with a visit to the Capitoline Museums, for a full day's worth of art and history.
