Michelangelo designed the Cordonata Capitolina Staircase that leads up to the Piazza del Campidoglio on Capitoline Hill.
Four large sculptures stand at the top of the stairway. They are Castor and Pollux (the Dioscuri twins) and the Trophies of Marius. Behind them is the Palazzo Senatorio. As you walk up, the equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius gradually emerges.
