Story · Capitol Square
You're standing on Piazza del Campidoglio, right on top of the Capitoline Hill, the most important of Rome's seven hills. In ancient times the city's most important temple stood up here, dedicated to Jupiter. By the Middle Ages there wasn't much left. Goats grazed here, and Romans called it goat hill.
