At the northern gateway of historic Rome, Piazza del Popolo opens as one of the city’s most dramatic and symbolic public spaces. For centuries, this grand piazza marked the point of arrival for pilgrims and travelers entering Rome from the north, setting the tone for their encounter with the Eternal City. Anchoring the square is the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo, a place where art, history, and conversion converge in a powerful spiritual narrative.
