Lonely Planet review for Piazza del Quirinale

A wonderful spot to enjoy a glowing Roman sunset, this bare and uneven piazza marks the summit of the Quirinale hill. The obelisk in the centre was moved here from the Mausoleo di Augusto in 1786 and is flanked by 5.5m statues of Castor and Pollux reining in a couple of rearing horses. It’s not much of a show, but if you’re in the neighbourhood on a Sunday you can catch the weekly changing of the guard (6pm in summer, 4pm the rest of the year). More dramatic by far is the classical-music concert staged here on New Year’s Eve.
