Holidays in Rome: a walk towards St. Peter’s and Castel Sant'Angelo.
Palazzo Olivia presents a series of itineraries to discover sites that are symbols of Rome. The starting point for your walk will be your apartment and the interactive maps will help you discover the history and particular features of Rome’s wonders.
When you leave Palazzo Olivia turn left and reach Via del Governo Vecchio (A), with a large number of Renaissance houses. The streets ends in Piazza dell'Orologio (B), with a clock tower by Borromini.
Then proceed on Via di Panico (C). At the end of Via di Panico you have two choices: you can cross the Tiber and reach Castel S. Angelo (D), St. Peter and the Vatican Museums (E) (but we suggest you take a full day to visit this area). Or else you can turn right and take Via dei Coronari (F) the street of antique dealers.
On the left Piazza S. Salvatore in Lauro (G), with its 16th century church and convent. Pass by Piazzetta S. Simeone with Palazzo Lancellotti (H), and walk to the end of Via dei Coronari. You should now visit Palazzo Altemps (I), one of the seats of the Roman National Museum. Now you can start your way back. Visit the church of S. Maria dell'Anima (L), and take a small deviation to reach the picturesque church of S. Maria della Pace (M) in its charming small square. Coming back home, stop by to say hallo to the talking statue of Pasquino (N).
