The Piazza Aracoeli is a square in Rome located near the slopes of Campidoglio. The Quirinal is visible from this location. The Piazza has had two demolitions, one in 1885 and the other in the 1930s. These demolitions have left the square much different than it once was. Two of the city’s towers once stood here: the Torre del Mercato and Torre del Canchele. The centerpiece of the Piazza is a fountain made by Giacomo Della Porta.
