Formerly known as Porta Flaminia, Piazza del Popolo is one of the most popular squares in the city of Rome. With three legendary churches bordering the square with an Egyptian massive obelisk in the middle, it is the centre of tourism in the city.
The square has been a huge part of Roman history as it served as the main gateway to the city of Rome where the foreigners had arrived. Piazza del Popolo was the first look of the city that any foreigner got of Rome and hence it had the quality of always being crowded and bustling.
