Directly in front of the palace along the Via D. Baullari you will come to the Campo Di Fiori, the famous site of executions during the turbulent days of Renaissance Rome.
Today, by contrast it is a lively and colorful fruit, vegetable, and flower market.
Continue on the Via D. Baullari to the Corso Vittorio Emanuele, then turn right for a couple of hundred yards to the Church of Sant' Andrea Della Valle.
As you approach the church on the Via D. Baullari you are passing within yards of the remains of the Roman Theatre of Pompey, near which is believed to have been the place where Julius Caesar was assassinated.
The dome of the church is, outside of St. Peter's, one of the largest in Rome.
Opera lovers will be interested to learn that this church was the scene for the first act of Tosca.
