Quirinale square
The Quirinale palace was enlarged and a splendid fountain was placed in the square facing its entrance.
To the initial granite basin taken for Caracalla’s baths, an obelisk was added and finally the splendid sculptures of Castor and Pollux. A sumptuous display of antiquities as a complement to the papal residence to remark the role of the papacy as heirs of the roman emperors.
