  • Review this attraction

  • The highest of the original seven hills, the Quirinal was also the enclave of the ancient Sabines (see Rape of the Sabine Women) in Rome’s earliest days. Today, it is graced by 5.5-m (18-ft) Roman copies of 5th-century BC Greek originals of the Dioscuri and their prancing horses. The hill’s stark, imposing palace, Rome’s largest, was built in 1574 as a summer papal residence, to escape the endemic malaria around the Vatican. In 1870 it became the residence of the kings of Italy and, since 1947, Italy’s presidents have held official functions here.
