NOTES: The church was originally known as Santa Maria in Capitolo because of its location at the summit of the Campidoglio. It was renamed Santa Maria in Aracoeli in the 14th century. The foundation of the church was laid in 574 but it received its Romanesque aspect under the Franciscans after 1250. The mosaic decoration was executed by Lorenzo Cosmati in the 13th century.

NOTES: The office block was part of a complex of industrial buildings, one was for the administration of the steelworks and the other to do the same for the tubeworks. The mural shown here was formed out of a Roman mosaic, dated 350 AD, which was found nearby during quarrying operations.

NOTES: This building was awarded the RIBA Bronze Medal London Architecture for 1958.
