THE TERRACE

There are very few attics with terrace having such views in Rome, and since they are owned by very wealthy persons, or belong to historical / institutional "palazzi", they are not rented, let alone for a short period. Amidst the skies and clouds, and under the starry nights you will experience unique sensations. You will also experience a cultural survey, as if you were a geographer, singling out a belfry or dome, going after in the quarter where you thought it should be located, trying to find it in the map.

The right photo shows the view of the Altar of the Fatherland, also called Vittoriano (it is the high, white monument with two winged chariots on top), and also the top of the dome of the Church of Jesus (Chiesa del Gesu'), the main church of the Jesuite order to which the present Pope Francis belongs, then as we proceed to the right you can see the spiral dome of the Church St. Ivo alla Sapienza by architect Francesco Borromini, and finally the belfry of Rome's municipality, which is located on top of Capitol Hill (Campidoglio in Italian).

The Altar of Fatherland was ended in 1911 (designed by architect Sacconi), to celebrate the reunion of Italy occurred in 1861, under the King Victor Emmanuel II. It also hosts the unknown soldier of WW1, for which it is called "Altare della Patria", or Altar of the Fatherland.
American soldiers during WW2 nicknamed it "The wedding cake", while Romans wittily call it "The type writer machine" because of its shape.

The right photo shows another view: the Castel Sant'Angelo, the fortress built on top of the mausoleum of emperor Hadrian and of his dinasty.

The castle was modified through the historical eras, and it became a safe haven for the Pope when Rome was besieged (for ex. during the sack of Rome of 1527 by the Lansquenets of the Spanish king Charles V.

Behind the castle you can see the lower part of the hill Monte Mario, where the Cavelieri Hilton Hotel is situated.

Left photo: some of the many domes visible from the terrace.

The domes, appearing in a procession, belong respectively from left to right, to the churches: Santa Maria della Pace, Sant'Agnes (whose facade and entrance are in Piazza Navona), Sant'Andrea della Valle with facade and entrance in the avenue Corso Victor Emmanuel II, and finally San Carlo ai Catinari, located between the Campo de' Fiori and Jewish quarter.

Terrace, left side. The magnificent and imposing facade and dome of the Basilica of St. Peter, and view also of the Vatican.

The dome was designed by Michelangelo, although it was completed after his death. It is 136 Mt. high, app. 446 Ft. It is possible to climb all the way to the pinnacle of the dome, where from an aerial view of Rome is seen, from a circular balcony. From the terrace of the penthouse, with careful look, or with the help of a binocular, the people standing on the balcony can be seen.
