Cloister of Faculty of civil Engineering of Sapienza University
Sunday, September 17th 2023, 6:30 PM
The beautiful Renaissance Cloister is the centre of the Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering, that is located in the area where the old convent of San Lorenzo in Panisperna was built, on the ruins of the Domus Aurea, which was emperor Nero’s palace.
On the ground floor, the cloister has a rectangular porch with seven or eight arches supported by columns that are characterized by beautiful Ionic capitals that bear the crest of Della Rovere. The corner realised thanks to a quadrangular pillar supported by two demi-columns, is beautiful. On the upper floor there are windows with a plain cornice. At the centre of the courtyard there is a beautiful well, with an elegant octagonal plan sculpted by Simone Mosca, surmounted by a simple stand made of two pairs of columns that support a simple architrave with a cymatium, attributed by some to Michelangelo Buonarroti.
Today it is the symbol of the Faculty itself.
Under the courtyard paving there is a beautiful medieval cistern that is the size of a cube of about nine meters per side, which is identifies today by a thin line of stone sunken among the river stones, which is typical of Lombard architecture.
Price: included in all fees and for accompanying persons.
