Piazza del Popolo

  Piazza del Popolo, sitting just north of Rome's historic center, serves as a magnificent entrance to the city. Dating back to the 15th century, this grand square features the impressive twin churches of Santa Maria in Montesanto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli, which frame the central obelisk. As a vibrant meeting place, it hosts various events and is often bustling with locals and tourists alike, especially during the summer months of June to August. Visitors can enjoy the lush greenery from the surrounding trees while taking in views of the iconic Porta del Popolo and the scenic climb up to the Pincio Gardens, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and exploration. Whether you're casually strolling along Via del Corso or snapping photos in front of the obelisk, Piazza del Popolo is a must-visit for anyone exploring Rome.
