He redesigned the Palazzo Senatorio, seat of the Roman senate. Michelangelo also made designs of a new façade for the Palazzo dei Conservatori and designed a new building, the Palazzo Nuovo, to be built just opposite . Also a monumental staircase, the Cordonata, leading from the bottom of the hill to the new square. Michelangelo died in 1564.
