    It looks nice on the outside, but the floors outside are slightly tilted and there are barely any drains. Once it’s raining, the floors outside are flooded.

    Also, on the inside, it’s very small. There’s not much inside.

    This whole monument is just a giant staircase. It’s pretty though

    They say the view from the panoramic terrace on top is the best view of Rome ever, because the only way to see the city without this monstrosity in the skyline

    That’s quite the pile. I like its subtlety and its organic nature lets it meld into the environment. /s
