Porta del Popolo

  • Address: Piazza del Popolo and Piazzale Flaminio, Piazza del Popolo, Rome | Map It

Fodor's Review:

The medieval gate in the Aurelian walls was replaced in 1561 by the current one, which was further embellished by Bernini in 1655 for the much-heralded arrival of Queen Christina of Sweden, who had abdicated her throne to become a Roman Catholic.

  • Metro: Flaminio
