Rome's centre seen from the Janiculum |
Rome's view from the Janiculum hill is by far the most impressive.
According to De Brosses, an 18th century French diarist, it was sufficient in itself to
justify the journey to Italy. The most striking feature is the forest of domes and
monuments filling the skyline, silhouetted against the Alban Hills (Castelli Romani).
From left to right you can see: the dome of the church of St. Agnese by F. Borromini, the
imposing Palazzo Farnese, the dome of San Carlo al Corso, the facade of the Palazzo Medici
and behind it the Borghese gardens, the shell-like dome of the Church of St. Ivo alla
Sapienza by F. Borromini, the high dome of Sant'Andrea della Valle (behind it you can see
the disk-like dome of the Pantheon), the dome of the Church Holy Trinity of the Pilgrims,
the imposing spherical dome of the Church of San Carlo ai Catinari, the long and elegant
Palazzo Quirinale, the dome of the Church of the Gesu', Trajan's Column, the Torre
Spaccata (broken tower), the Altar of Fatherland or Vittoriale, the Church of Ara Coeli
(Altar of the Skies), Capitol Hill (with the Municipality and Palazzo Conservatori), St.
Mary Major (background with two domes and a belfry), and the dome of the Synagogue
(forefront, quadrangular).
