Plaza del Pópolo

Located next to the northern gate of the city, Piazza del Popolo (Plaza del Pueblo) is one of the most popular squares in Rome. In the centre of the square is a 24-metre Egyptian obelisk dedicated to Ramses II, known as Obelisco Flaminio. Located in the Circo Máximo from the year 10 BC, it was moved to the Plaza del Popolo in 1589. Much of the tourists who come to Piazza del Popolo do so to visit the Church of Santa María del Popolo, where you can see two magnificent works by Caravaggio as well as interesting Renaissance works. In the square there are also the churches of Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa María in Montesanto, two apparently twin temples that hide some differences. The best views of the square are obtained from the Pincio Gardens, up the stairs on its eastern side.
