点评:Walking up Capitoline Hill is an excellent way to see a lot of ancient Rome. There are several routes you can take. This time, we started at the famous Mouth of Truth (Bocca della Verita), passing ancient temples and the Colosseum-like Theatre of Marcellus before hitting the Cordonata Stairs that lead up to Piazza Campidoglio and the Capitoline Museum the top of Capitoline Hill.
It’s only a 15 minute, mostly flat, walk but of course there’s a lot to see along the way so we took much longer.
Approaching via the Cordonata Stairs is by far the best way to go. This was the formal entrance to Piazza Campidoglio so it is designed to impress.
At the base of the stairs, are a pair of ancient Egyptian lion fountains and at the top, enormous statues of the ancient Greek gods, Castor and Pollux stand either side of the staircase.
At the top, the piazza unfolds in front of you. Look in any direction, and most of what you see here was either designed or re-designed by Michelangelo in 1536.
The piazza is enclosed by three grand palazzos, two of which house the Capitoline Museum (a wonderful museum if you have the time).
In the centre, is the imposing equestrian statue of Marcus Aurelius. You can’t miss it.
On the other hand it’s easy to miss the much smaller statue (but even more famous) statue of Lupa Romana. You’ll immediately recognise the iconic image of the she-wolf who saved the twin boys, Romulus and Remus. It’s at the back of the piazza on the left hand side of the Senatorio.
Both statues are only replicas and the originals can be seen inside the Capitoline Museum. The replicas however are very good and of course, it’s free to see them.
To the right of the Senatorio building, look out for a small enclosed, bridge between buildings. We discovered that if you walk out this way, you will come to a large open ‘balcony’ area that looks down over the Roman Forum. You can see a lot of the Forum from here, without having to pay to go in.
Overall, if you have the time, walking up to the top of Capitoline Hill is a brilliant thing to do and it packs in a lot of sight-seeing.
翻译:步行登上卡比托利欧山是游览古罗马的绝佳方式。您可以选择多条路线。这次,我们从著名的真理之口 (Bocca della Verita) 出发,经过古老的寺庙和类似罗马斗兽场的马塞勒斯剧场,然后到达通往卡比托利欧山顶卡比托利欧广场和卡比托利欧博物馆的科尔多纳塔阶梯。
步行只需 15 分钟,大部分路程平坦,但当然沿途有很多可看的东西,所以我们花了更长的时间。
通过科尔多纳塔阶梯接近是迄今为止最好的方式。这是卡比托利欧广场的正式入口,因此它的设计令人印象深刻。
阶梯底部有一对古埃及狮子喷泉,顶部有古希腊诸神卡斯托和波鲁克斯的巨大雕像,分别矗立在阶梯的两侧。
到达顶部,广场展现在您的面前。朝任何方向看,您在这里看到的大部分东西都是米开朗基罗在 1536 年设计或重新设计的。
广场被三座宏伟的宫殿包围,其中两座是卡比托利欧博物馆(如果您有时间的话,这是一个很棒的博物馆)。
广场中央是雄伟的马可·奥雷利乌斯骑马雕像。您不会错过的。
另一方面,很容易错过小得多但更出名的 Lupa Romana 雕像。您会立即认出拯救双胞胎男孩罗慕路斯和雷穆斯的母狼的标志性形象。它位于广场后面,在 Senatorio 的左侧。
这两座雕像都只是复制品,原件可以在卡比托利欧博物馆内看到。不过复制品非常好,当然,参观它们是免费的。
在 Senatorio 大楼的右侧,请留意建筑物之间的一座小型封闭桥。我们发现,如果你从这里走出去,就会来到一个可以俯瞰古罗马广场的大型开放式“阳台”区域。从这里你可以看到古罗马广场的很多地方,而不必付费进入。
总的来说,如果你有时间,步行到卡比托利欧山顶是一件很棒的事情,而且可以欣赏到很多美景。
