Cloisters are also considered semi-public outdoor rooms although they are typically found
within blocks and buildings and not always linked directly with the public spaces preceding
them (img. 4 — SS Marcellino e Festo, Naples). Often cloisters contain commemorative monuments
as in the case of what is perhaps the most well-known example in Rome, S. Pietro in Montorio,
whose Tempietto marks the presumed site of the martyrdom of St. Peter (img. 5).
