The Pyramid of Cestius can be seen from the railroad station in the south. You can see that the landmark was changed over into a rampart in the Wall of Aurelian, which was worked after 270. In the seventeenth century, when a passage was added to the defense works, the funerary office of the pyramid was discovered. It ended up containing divider paintings in what was subsequently called the Third Pompeian style. Pope Alexander VII arranged restorations, which are also recognized in an inscription. Contrasted with the genuine, Egyptian pyramids, the Pyramid of Cestius is excessively steep and excessively pointed.
