Title A name given to the resource Santa Maria in Ara Coeli Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Liza Peterson (2016) Description An account of the resource <p>Santa Maria in Aracoeli is a basilica that sits at the top of the Capitoline Hill at the site where the Tiburtine Sybil was said to have announced the coming of Christ. The Mirabilia Urbis Romae, a 12th-century guidebook to Roman monuments, claims that it was built on the foundations of the ancient Temple of Juno. Today, however, what remains is the structure that was built in the 8th century, and then rebuilt in the 12th century, as the monastery and church of S. Maria in Capitolio.</p> <p>Approaching the building from the west, visitors begin at the base of 124 steps leading up the hill to the church. In the medieval period, a public market was held in front of S. Maria on the uneven expanse of the hill, cascading down into the piazza below, today known as Piazza Aracoeli. The steps had not yet been built during the 12th century, but one can imagine the crowded market sprawling down the hill where the steps exist today. Although there were medieval steps leading up the east side of the hill to S. Maria from the forum, this market ensured that the main entrance to the church was largely from the west, the primary entrance used by visitors today. Arriving at the top of the steps, take a moment to walk around the top of the Capitoline hill, as it provides one of the best panoramic views of Rome.</p> Abstract A summary of the resource. Santa Maria in Aracoeli is a basilica that sits at the top of the Capitoline Hill at the site where Tiburtine Sybil was said to have announced the coming of Christ. The Mirabilia Urbis Romae, a 12th-century guidebook to Roman monuments, claims that it was built on the foundations of the ancient Temple of Juno. Today, however, what remains is the structure that was built in the 8th century, and then rebuilt in the 12th century, as the monastery and church of S. Maria in Capitolio.
