PIAZZA DI SPAGNA

By the 16th century, the increase in numbers attractive area offers much more: the superb
of visiting pilgrims and ecclesiastics was works of Renaissance and Baroque art in
making life in Rome’s already congested Santa Maria del Popolo and Sant’Andrea
medieval center unbearable. A new triangle delle Fratte, the magnificent reliefs of the
of roads was built, still in place today, to help restored Ara Pacis, art exhibitions in the
channel pilgrims as quickly as possible from Villa Medici, fine views of the city from the
the city’s north gate, the Porta del Popolo, to Spanish Steps and the Pincio Gardens, and
the Vatican. By the 18th century hotels had Rome’s most famous shopping streets,
sprung up all over the district. Today this centered on Via Condotti.
