This is a very beautiful long street with interesting history. For us however, the thing that always brings us back is the doorway to Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morte (Saint Mary of Prayer and Death). It is a small church, and we have actually never seen the inside of the place. The purpose of the confraternity behind the church is to lay the unnamed and abandoned dead of the city to rest. I am not a religiois person, nor are I assume quite a few of them, but if I were to end up as a nameless dead, I'd like to think that my city had an order who took care of me with respect. Thus, I always drop a coin into their collection box guarded by the picture of the reaper, not so grim this time.

Was on Via Giulia today for the Cortili Aperti Roma (Open Courtyards) as two palazzi on the street (Palazzo Cisterna at #163 and Palazzo Sacchetti #66) were participating. It is a beautiful street (as is the general area) and is perfect for going for a stroll and exploring the Eternal City.

If you are in the area of Campo de' Fiori, it s worthwhile to wander through the beautiful Piazza Farnese and then go behind it to the historic Via Giulia. On this street you'll see the lovely ivy-draped Farnese Arch designed by Michelangelo, and the unusual Fountain of the Masks. There's the church of Santa Maria dell’Orazione e Morta, decorated with skeletons and skulls (very near the Farnese Arch), and several other interesting churches. This street is a pretty and tranquil place for a stroll.

Lovely quiet stroll on our last morning in Rome. Historical neighborhood leading to Ponte Sisto and Palazzo Farnese: Raphael, Michelangelo, Pope Julius II, and Sangallo all frequented this area. If there’s time, a great place away from traffic and tourists to savor your visit taking in the beautiful Renaissance doorways and courtyards.

This cobblestone road designed by Bramante in the early 1500’s is a straight 1 KM long road that was designed to ease access to the Vatican. As the main road in the area, it became lined with elegant palazzos and churches. The street was home to such artists as Raphael, Cellini and others. Along the street is the Farnese Arch, Fountain of the Mask, Palazzo Farnese, Church of Prayer and Death, Palazzo Falconieri and Chiesa di San Giovanni dei Fiorentini. It is a less traveled path to walk, but be aware that it is open to vehicles.

Our hotel was on Via Giulia..this ended up being a great experience.
Via Giulia is a very historic street. It was paid out by the pope about the same time that St. Peter's was being built. This beautiful cobblestone street features a bridge designed by Michaelangelo, a mournful fountain that the Farnese family sometimes let flow with wine, a number of churches including one which housed a society dedicated to the burial of unclaimed bodies, the facade of which is decorated with depictions of skulls and skeletons! As you walk down the street, you can feel the history of the city surround you.
The street is in the heart of Rome. At one end you are only blocks away from St. Peter's. The other end is close to the Campo di Fiore and a bridge across the Tiber that leads to Trastevere.
Though it is in the heart of Rome, it is a quiet street. We could keep our hotel windows open at night and the major source of noise were seagulls!
Via Giulia is my favorite street in Rome. It is well worth a wander!

This is an atmospheric and memorable walk, during the day or late evening. It is quite an old and long route, begun by Pope Julius, and spans many eras.
It is lined with numerous attractive features. These include building facades and fountains. The backs of some original Palazzi are to be seen, reflecting the intention of their wealthy owners not to face the street. The fine arch spanning the street is a legacy of an ambitious plan by Michelangelo to link the Palazzo Farnese to Villa Farnesina in Trastevere. It was never brought to fruition.
The street ends at the marvellous church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini.

I'm not sure why this street is even listed. Sure, there are a few minor sights to look at along its length, but that's true for every street in Rome.

Via Giulia was part of an urban plan to link the port of the Tiber to the Vatican. It was designed in a straight line to make it easier of access. It's a fascinating street lined by churches belonging to various confraternities including that of the abandoned dead, historical buildings which today house embassies, museums and a famous Roman High school, and the anti-mafia commission has its headquarters here. For anyone with an hour to spare Via Giulia is well worth a leisurely stroll.

Via Giulia near Flora Market is full of historic structures including palaces and churches. It has been redeveloped in the 16th century. It is nice to stroll along the street next to the River Tiber.
