Piazza del Popolo
Piazza del Popolo is a very well-known square in Rome. In Italian the name means ‘People's Square’, but the name is actually derived from the poplars that surrounded the oval square. The original function of this square was to welcome visitors and pilgrims who entered Rome from the north over the Via Flaminia.
Here you will discover the 2 twin churches Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria in Montesanto.
