The Temple of Portunus is an ancient Roman temple located beside the Forum Boarium, the Roman cattle market associated with Hercules, which was adjacent to Rome's oldest river port. It was probably dedicated to the gateway god Portunus. The temple is one of the best preserved of all Roman temples.

Immediately behind the lively Campo de’ Fiori, from which it differs both in origin and tradition, it is one of the city’s most elegant squares, aristocratically isolated and dominated by two large fountains that lead the eye to the palace that has been home to the French Embassy since 1874.
It is precisely to the imposing Palazzo Farnese that the history of the square is connected, starting from the 16th century when Cardinal Alessandro Farnese (the future Pope Paul III) purchased several houses in this area to demolish them and create a space suitable for a new refined residence. Its building history involved some of the most prominent Italian architects of the time, including Michelangelo.

The Mausoleum of Hadrian, also known as Castel Sant'Angelo, is a cylindrical building.
It was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The Popes later used the building as a fortress and castle, and it is now a museum. The structure was once the tallest building in Rome.
