Trinità dei Monti

Why go

Trinità dei Monti completes the Spanish Steps composition but has its own French and Renaissance identity. Inside, chapels preserve Mannerist works, including paintings associated with Daniele da Volterra; outside, the church, obelisk and descending stair create one of Rome’s clearest axial views.

What to look for

• Study the twin-towered façade from the upper landing before turning toward the city view.
• Examine the Sallustian Obelisk, whose hieroglyphs copy those of the ancient obelisk in Piazza del Popolo.
• Inside, look for Daniele da Volterra’s work in the chapels on the right.

Useful to know

• Combine the church with the Spanish Steps and Villa Medici in a single Pincian walk.
• Allow about 30 minutes if the church is open.
• General visiting access is not dependable; consult the venue before making the interior your main reason to go.
