Piazza del Popolo, (Rome)

Piazza del Popolo, a large square located in the heart of Rome at the foot of the Pincio Hill. The square is famous for its elliptical shape and Baroque architecture. It is the hub of the trident from which the three streets of Ripetta, del Babuino, and Via del Corso branch off. In the center of the square is the Flaminian obelisk, an ancient Egyptian monument about 24 meters high, which was transported to Rome during the time of the Roman Empire. Surrounding the obelisk are four fountains, one in each corner of the square, each decorated with statues and bas-reliefs. The photo includes the twin churches, the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli and the Church of Santa Maria in Montesanto. Both churches are in the Baroque style and are among the most famous in Rome.
