The urbanization processes that have taken place since the second half of the 16th century have helped to define the current conformation of the square.

It stands on an area of 17,100 square meters, designed by Giuseppe Valadier and built starting in 1818.

Far older is the Porta del Popolo, built under Emperor Aurelian during the 3rd century and rebuilt during the 16th century.

The gate, along with the square, represents a perfect example of architectural layering, a phenomenon due to the modifications and remakes of pre-existing building works ordered by successive Popes over the years.
