One of the statues on the front corners of the building.

The Cordonata stairs to reach the top of the Capitoline Hill, the highest of the seven hills of Rome.

This church, the Santa Maria in Aracoeli, was to the side of the step. I'm glad we didn't walk up there!

One of the statues to the side of the steps.

Bill with the statue of Marcus Aurelius.

Looking down the steps.

The fountain in front of the Palazzo Senatorio.

I don't know what this building is. Maybe a government building.

The ruin of Trajan's market is down the street.

Each arch was a store.

A building by the ruins of the Roman Forum.

Down the street is the Colosseum.
