The Chiesa di Trinità dei Monti is perhaps better known for its location than for the works inside it. This little jewel has evolved with the centuries to become one of the most famous post cards of the Eternal City.
It stands atop the Spanish Steps, overlooking the Piazza di Spagna forming a backdrop that cannot be ignored.
And yet, until the early 1500s, the church site was an enormous vineyard donated by King Charles VIII of France to an order of monks.
From the 16th century on, the entire area around the Trinità dei Monti had long been under French influence; in the 19th century, this influence expanded somewhat to include the Villa Medici and the French Academy.
The French provided the funds for the celebrated Spanish Steps, which were built some time around 1725 by Francesco De Sanctis. Their purpose was to celebrate the peace between France and Spain by linking the Piazza di Spagna (so called because of a road leading to the Bourbon Spanish Embassy) to the French church.
In addition, of the two clocks on the façade, one shows Rome time, the other Paris time; mass is celebrated in the church in the French.
The first part of the church was built in the Gothic style in the early decades of the 1500s; the place of worship was consecrated in 1585 by Pope Sixtus V. Afterwards, in the 16th century, the Gothic building was enlarged, and the famous façade with two symmetrical bell towers was built. The design was by Giacomo Della Porta and Domenico Fontana. The latter also created the stair and ramps that lead to the church entrance.
In the late 18th century, Pope Pius VI placed the Salustiano Obelisk in front of the Trinità dei Monti. This was the last large obelisk to be erected by the Roman Papacy from those that had been built in Roman times to imitate Egyptian obelisks.
On the interior, the beautiful Deposition of Christ and the entire Mannerist-style fresco cycle in one of the first chapels are the work of Daniele da Volterra, a student of Michelangelo, who after the master's death got the nickname “braghettone”(“Breeches-Maker”). He was charged with the task of covering the nudity in the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel with trousers.

he Monti neighborhood of Rome: what to see and what you need to know about Rome’s most scenic district.
The Monti District, or Rione Monti as it called in Italian, is one of the most scenic neighborhoods in Rome.
Located in the city center, roughly between the Colosseum and Termini station, is an ancient area with a long and interesting history and now charms its visitors and inhabitants with cobbled streets, small alleys, important churches, cool restaurants and independent shops.
A visit to this area is a must when in Rome.
Whether you opt for aperitivo here, a visit to one of its stunning churches or a leisurely walk to take in the atmosphere, what you will find here is quintessential Rome: grand, dusty, busy, lazy, messy, stunning and always unique.
I always head to Monti when I feel like a walk and I can never decide if I love more its dusty cobbled streets or its important monuments. I simply adore both!
Out of the many, these are in my opinion, the best things to see in Monti.

Piazza Navona is one of the most beautiful and famous squares in the centre of Rome. In 86 CE, emperor Domitian commissioned this square with its unique, elongated shape. This shape is the result of its original function as the stadium for athletics competitions (Circus Agonalis) with stands for 20,000 spectators. Pope Innocent even organised so-called ‘water games’ during the hot summer months, for which the whole square was put under water. After the fall of the Roman Empire, houses were built where the stands used to be, but the long athletics field remained free of buildings and would later become Piazza Navona.

Around the Gallerie Borghese on Pincio hill, you will find the former estate that had been owned by the wealthy Borghese family since 1580. Cardinal Scipione Borghese commissioned the vineyard to be converted into a park. Building of the Villa Borghese Pinciana was completed in 1633. It also included the construction of other buildings, including an aviary and orangery. During the 19th century the park received a major overhaul and converted to the English style with various ponds and fountains. Eventually, the park was bought by the municipality of Rome in 1903 and was made a public park. It is now the largest park in Rome and a perfect place to get away from the bustle of the city.

Literally translated, Campo de 'Fiori means 'field of flowers', a name derived from the Middle Ages when the area was still a meadow full of flowers. It is a misunderstanding that the name of the rectangular square is derived from the flower market that frequently takes place here. The square is very lively and colorful in the morning because of the daily fresh market with flowers, fruit, herbs and vegetables (monday to saturday). In the evening (especially by tourists) there is a lot of drinking on the terraces and in the bars around the lively square. The square is not far from the famous Piazza Navona, a square which in my opinion is much more worth a visit than this overrated Camp de 'Fiori.

The Castel Sant’Angelo was built in the 2nd century as a mausoleum by order of emperor Hadrian. The mausoleum did not become associated with the name of archangel Michael until 590, when Pope Gregory I saw archangel Michael sheathe his sword on top of the mausoleum during a plague to signal the end of the epidemic. Later pope Pius II built a chapel at the site where the archangel was said to have appeared. The remarkable bronze statue of archangel Michael was made in 1753 by Peter Anton von Verschaffelt. The Castle of the Holy Angel in Rome also owes a lot of its fame to the film adaptation of Dan Brown's Angels & Demons, where the castle served as a hideout for the Illuminati.

Just about any of the Castelli Romani - as the small towns nestled in the hills to the south of Rome are known - are more than worth a visit, but our favourite is bustling Frascati. Dominated by the extraordinary Baroque summer palace of Pope Clement VII Aldobrandini, the town has been a go-to destination for Romans seeking to escape the summer heat for millennia. Narrow lanes and hidden piazzas open out onto breathtaking views of the Roman campagna on all sides, but the real draw of Frascati is its brilliant restaurant scene. The Castelli Romani are known for the unrivalled quality of its raw materials, and an array of restaurants, from cheap and rustic fraschette to well-heeled eateries see hungry Romans descend every weekend in search of a cracking Sunday lunch (porchetta is, of course, obligatory).

Just 40 minutes from Rome, the spectacular town of Palestrina boasts incredible ancient ruins far from the usual tourist itineraries. It was here in ancient Preneste - as the town was known in antiquity - that the enormous temple of Fortuna rose from the cliffs of the Lazio countryside. The sanctuary was home to one of the classical world's most popular oracles, and the sacred wooden tablets that helped interpret her prophecies continued to be consulted until the 4th century AD. The powerful ruling Colonna family built their palace atop the magnificent terraces and hemicycle of the sanctuary in the middle ages.

Just about any of the Castelli Romani - as the small towns nestled in the hills to the south of Rome are known - are more than worth a visit, but our favourite is bustling Frascati. Dominated by the extraordinary Baroque summer palace of Pope Clement VII Aldobrandini, the town has been a go-to destination for Romans seeking to escape the summer heat for millennia. Narrow lanes and hidden piazzas open out onto breathtaking views of the Roman campagna on all sides, but the real draw of Frascati is its brilliant restaurant scene. The Castelli Romani are known for the unrivalled quality of its raw materials, and an array of restaurants, from cheap and rustic fraschette to well-heeled eateries see hungry Romans descend every weekend in search of a cracking Sunday lunch (porchetta is, of course, obligatory). When in Rome, do as the Romans do!

This place is truly ancient. This much is obvious when you first glimpse it – a tumble of medieval houses, painted shutters gaping, scattered down the hillside like a handful of rolled dice. The town takes its name from the Roman villa that is buried somewhere beneath its erratically cobbled streets, but there is something more historic still only a few hundred yards outside the village, submerged like a dark secret in the mud of Lake Bracciano.
Five thousand years before the creation of Rome, neolithic travellers from Greece or the Arab world found their way to this spot and brought with them a seismic shift: unlike the nomadic hunter-gatherers who populated the region at the time, they farmed, kept domesticated animals and created what must at the time have been a staggeringly large settlement, unprecedented within Italy. Archaeologists in scuba gear have discovered more than 3,000 oaken posts, which wer once used to support their houses.
