No, we aren't in the Greek acropolis, but in the heart of Rome. The Romans brought down from Olympus the Greek beauty and put on the street. However with a hight podium. Few buildings, if not only this, allow us to glimpse the outside beauty and perhaps especially inside Roman buildings. Also Santa Maria degli Angeli, which occupies part of the baths of Diocletian allow us to glimpse something of the marble Roman magnificence. And San Peter's Basilic, by the work of Maderno and Bernini surprises us with a magnificence of something that was not only was, but it is.
