He redesigned the Palazzo Senatorio, seat of the Roman senate.

Also a monumental staircase, the Cordonata, leading from the bottom of the hill to the new square. Michelangelo died in 1564. The project was only finished in the 17th the center of the square is a replica of a statue of Marcus Aurelius.
