Piazza del Popolo

The Piazza del Popolo

The Piazza del Popolo (English: People's Square) was a famous square in Rome that once resided near the Porta Flaminia, near the northern gate of the Aurelian Walls. The square housed Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria di Montesant.

History

The future site of the famous Piazza del Popolo, in the early 15th century, the Piazza was merely the continuation of the Via Flaminia. As a result, it was most travellers' first view of Rome upon arrival.
