As it stood in 29 BC

What Curia Julia looked like in its prime.

A squat, rectangular brick-faced building set on a high podium with a single broad flight of steps and a shallow columned veranda across the front. The lower front wall is veneered in pink and white marble panels beneath a white entablature and red-tiled roof; the upper wall is plain pale brick or stucco with a triangular pediment and three tall, arched windows fitted with patterned grilles. A small circular fountain sits on the paved forecourt.
