VIA GIULIA
Street, lined with palaces and churches, between the Vatican and the Capitol in Rome.
Via Giulia is a one-kilometre road laid out at the request of Pope Julius II to link the Vatican to the Capitoline Hill. It is lined with Florentine-influenced Renaissance palaces, the most notable of which is the Palazzo Sacchetti, and churches, notably Sant'Eligio degli Orefici, built by Raphael in 1509, and Santa Maria di Monserrato, built in 1518 by Antonio Da Sangallo the Younger. This is the Church of the Spaniards, in which Alexander VI Borgia and Alfonso XIII are buried. In case of need: via Giulia is also the street of the French consulate.

Permet une agréable promenade en marge du trop plein des rues du centre.
