EUR, which stands for Esposizione Universale Roma, is a residential and business district in Rome, Italy, located south of the city centre. This site was originally selected by Benito Mussolini in the 1930s as the site for the 1942 world's fair in honor of twenty years of Italian Fascism. The project was originally called E42, referencing the year in which the exhibition was intended to take place. However, due to World War II, the fair was cancelled and the area remained unfinished until it was completed, in large part, for the 1960 Olympic Games.

The most quintessential building in EUR, and the symbol of the Fascist architectural style, is the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana (1938–1943), an iconic project which has since become known as the "Colosseo Quadrato" (Square Colosseum). The building was designed by Giovanni Guerrini, Ernesto Lapadula and Mario Romano, also inspired by Metaphysical art.
