The cordonata (a shallow step-less ramp), designed by Michaelangelo, leading from Via del Teatro Marcello up to Piazza del Campidoglio, Rome, Italy.  The two Roman statues at the top of the steps are the mythical twins Castor and Pollux, placed there in 1583. The Piazza was designed in the 1530s by Michaelangelo for Pope Paul III. The building opposite the top of the steps (with the tower) is Palazza Senatorio, Rome's City Hall. The massive flight of 134 steps, on the left, leads up to the church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli.
