Just above the splendid Piazza del Popolo is one of the most charming places in Rome: the terrace of the Pincio. The Pincio, as it is called in Rome, is one of the most popular meeting places for Romans and tourists, because of its spectacular view of the Campus Martius, St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and the historical center of the capital that will amaze even the most staid and insensitive visitor.
The terrace of the Pincio is a part, as well as Villa Borghese, of the Pinciano hill, which is not included among the famous seven hills on which Rome was founded, but it is located within the city walls built between 270 and 273 by the Emperor Adriano.
Originally, the hill was called Collis Hortulorum and was the seat of the gardens owned by aristocratic families of Rome. In 1816, Napoleon I decided to entrust the reconstruction of the entire area (including Piazza del Popolo) architect Giovanni Valadier, who made one of the most beautiful and famous places in the world, to characterize it with a perfect symmetry between the hill (with its panoramic terrace), Porta Flaminia and the square that acts as mammoth "gateway" to the historic center of Rome.
The Pinciano hill is considered a beautiful place by Romans and tourists, because of its romantic and enchanting atmosphere, for their walks and to spend quiet and carefree afternoons. Walking through the park you will find yourself among beautiful fountains, squares built in neoclassical style, Egyptian obelisks and busts of the heroes of the Risorgimento.
