Curia

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:18:00

The Forum's Curia, the meeting place of the Roman Senate, was rebuilt by Julius Caesar, Augustus, Domitian and Diocletian, before being converted into a church in the Middle Ages. What you see today is a 1937 reconstruction of Diocletian's building. The bronze doors are copies – the originals were used by Borromini for the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano.
