Between the elegant Pincio and the banks of the Tiber, Piazza del Popolo forms a huge ellipse. Churches, fountains, monuments, of ancient and modern Rome embellish the place.

Since ancient times, the northern entrance to the city has formed a vestibule in the city through the door in the wall of Aurélien. Although now known as Porta del Popolo, it has had several names over the centuries.

Originally called Porta Flaminia by the Emperor Aurelian who commissioned its construction, during the early medieval period it was called Porta San Valentino, after the nearest catacomb. Finally, the name of Porta del Popolo was agreed, as was the church adjoining the eastern gate of Santa Maria del Popolo.

Piazza del Popolo itself was known as Piazza del Trullo in the Middle Ages, after the conical fountain in the center of the square, reminiscent of a characteristic South Italian habitation. Its current name may be due to poplar, known in Latin 'populus' which also meant people, an apt association, as various public events such as fairs, games and spectacular performances were held there.

For centuries, Piazza del Popolo had a public fountain, a drinking trough and a cistern for washerwomen. It was Sixtus V, in 1589, who turned his attention instead. The Trullo fountain, under the supervision and execution of Domenico Fontana, was to be replaced by the Egyptian obelisk of Ramses II, second in age and height than that of San Giovanni, originally brought to the city by Emperor Augustus, and put in Circus Maximus.

Its transport and installation in Piazza del Popolo gave the place a more majestic, less domestic air. Four lions of water basins were added to the obelisk in 1823, during the reign of Pope Leo XII.

The next event was the arrival of Queen Christine of Sweden. Eager to convert to Catholicism, she arrived in Rome in 1655, to a splendid reception: coming from the North, her first vision was the Porta del Popolo.

Bernini had been commissioned to restore the interior facade of the old door in preparation for his arrival. A plaque has been placed above the arch, reading: 'FELICI FAUSTOQUE INGRESSUI MDCLV' (For a Happy and Auspicious Entry) which remains to this day. Her entry was so 'happy' that she would never leave Rome.

Towards the end of the seventeen hundreds, in the midst of the Napoleonic invasion, the ever-increasing flow of visitors and pilgrims, who descended on Rome through the Porta del Popolo, motivated the decision to modernize the place.

Until the 18th century, the square has a trapezoidal shape which converged towards the door. During the Napoleonic era, the French prefect, Tournon, was the head of the 'Embellishments Commission' in Rome.

He commissioned Valadier, a Roman architect, to redesign the Piazza del Popolo, which he did has a surprising effect. The works started in 1816, lasted until 1824 and the first time, since the French occupation, that the prisoners were not used for the works.

The project had to take into account important existing buildings: three churches, Santa Maria del Popolo, Santa Maria di Montesanto (Saint Mary of Montesanto), Santa Maria dei Miracoli (Saint Mary of Miracles), the obelisk, Porta del Popolo and Via del Corso, which was to remain intact.

The lateral structures were replaced by spacious exedres. These supported the fountains of Neptune between two newts, and Roma Goddess on each side, added in 1823 during the reign of Pope Leo XII. The square then became accessible from side to side, as well as each end.

With a touch of genius, the square was connected to the park on the hill above by a staircase descending from the Pincio hill. Piazza del Popolo was the pope's last contribution to the legendary architecture of Rome, and in many ways reflects its splendor, inspiring a sense of fear in the visitor.

Highlighting this supremacy, the three churches dedicated to the Virgin, surrounded by the obelisk which in ancient times was dedicated to the pagan Sun god.
