Ara Pacis Augustae Rome : Architecture Information

Museo dell'Ara Pacis : Contemporary Roman building, Italy - design by Richard Meier

Ara Pacis Museum Date: 2006 Design: Richard Meier Architects Photographs © Adrian Welch Feb 2008 Ara Pacis Museum : Demolition Proposal, 2008 Rome's new mayor announced on 30 Apr his intention to destroy the museum by Richard Meier that was only completed in 2006. Mayor Gianni Alemanno claimed it isn’t his top priority though. Ara Pacis Augustae - Piazza The Ara Pacis is a 2,000-year-old classical altar. It was commissioned by Roman Emperor Augustus to commemorate pacification of western provinces - what are now France and Spain. View east from across River Tiber: The museum was very controversial, partly due to being the first Modern building in the city centre for half a century. It was instigated by the left-wingers in power at the time. Gianni Alemanno is right-wing, the first elected in Rome since the time of Mussolini.
