Without doubt one of the most impressive buidlings in the Eternal City located in Piazza Colonna and very near the official merchandising store of AS Roma the official soccer team in Rome.

Happily here at the Hotel Art in Rome we are not politicians but football fans therefore our guests include people who are more interested in the Stadio Olimpico and Roma store than the Italian Parliament.

The parliament itself is informally known as Piazza "Colonna" - due to the presence of a huge obelisk in the middle of the square - the square is a strict no go area whenever the Italian parliament are in session. Unfortunately this 360 degree virtual photo of the Parliament was taken very early in the morning - we suggest you go and see it during the day time on a Sunday as it is surely one of the most impressive buidlings to be found in the Eternal City Rome.

Be warned though that due to the increased security some restrictions may be enforced to stop you taking photographs of this highly sensitive building.

Did you Know? Italian parliamentary debates are often very heated and several times a year end up in a free for all with blows being exchanged by the various political parties.
