Rome Under the Popes: Church and Empire

Synopsis: The medieval walled area of Rome associated with the popes, including the Vatican and Castel San Angelo, were developed in the 16th century by successive popes to be more than church and fortress. Great urban schemes were made to assist pilgrims in visiting the new St Peter’s and other churches during the increasingly important jubilee years. Such schemes included raising obelisks, fountains, the renewal of the water supply, and Christianising antique remains.
