  • The pastiche of motifs on this monument to Victor Emmanuel II is so out of sync with the city that Romans ignore it or give it nicknames such as “The Wedding Cake”.

  • This delightful palazzo houses a small but important collection of ancient sculpture.

  • Sublime Renaissance structure, once the Papal Chancellery.

  • One of Rome’s largest palaces is graced by superlative Michelangelo creations, such as the wonderful cornice (see Villa Farnesina).

  • Home in the 17th century to two brothers, Bernardino and Virginio Spada, who amassed a fine collection of paintings. The building now houses the Council of State and a gallery.

  • Pope Paul II, who built this palace, loved to watch the carnival horse races from the balcony. From the same, Mussolini shouted his Fascist harangues.

  • Built in honour of Octavia, Augustus’s sister, this was an entrance to the Circus Flaminius. Despite the archaeological digs, you can pass through the ruins on scaffolding.

  • Home to one of the most lavish tabernacles in Rome.

  • This 1904 synagogue has a museum that traces the history of Rome’s Jewish community (see Campo de’ Fiori to the Capitoline).

  • Fashionable street laid out by Bramante in the early 16th century. The ivy-hung viaduct was designed by Michelangelo, but never completed.
