The square is located at the top of Mount Quirinale, the highest of the seven hills, so named because the temple of Quirino or the city of the Curi was erected there, where, according to legend, the Sabine women of Tazio settled.
In the center of the square, on high pedestals, are the colossal statues of the Dioscuri, Castore and Polluce, the divine twin brothers who hold their horses by the bridle; the marble groups are Imperial Age Roman reworkings of a 5th century BC Greek original.

The Quirinal Palace (in Italian Palazzo del Quirinale) is located on top of the homonymous hill that is located in Rome, Italy. It is one of the three official residences of the President of the Italian Republic and is one of the symbols of the Italian State, with Tenuta di Castelporziano and Villa Rosbery in Naples. It has more than 1200 rooms. The Quirinal Palace is unique in the world because from 1583 it is associated with the Latin concept of Auctoritas, no other building in the world has this chronological thickness.
