Basilica of Santa Maria in Aracoeli stands atop the Capitoline Hill, where Rome’s civic authority long intertwined with ritual, above remains linked to the ancient temple of Juno Moneta. A church has existed here since the 6th c., but the Franciscans reshaped it in the 13th c., pairing a stark Romanesque nave with a famously steep stairway. Inside, a Lepanto ceiling (1571) proclaims papal triumph, while Cavallini’s late 13th c. frescoes, Pinturicchio’s Bufalini Chapel (1484–86), and the venerated Madonna Aracoeli and Santo Bambino sustain living devotion.,
