Piazza della Rotonda Piazza della Rotonda The Piazza della Rotonda is a piazza (city square) in Rome, Italy, on the south side of which is located the Pantheon. The square gets its name from the Pantheon's informal title as the church of "Santa Maria Rotonda". Although the Pantheon has stood from antiquity, the area in front of it had over the centuries become choked with a maze of sheds and small shops that had grown up around its columns. These medieval accretions were cleared by order of Pope Eugenius IV (1431–39) and the piazza was laid out and paved. It took its name
Piazza di Porta Ravegnana, Bologna and Via dei Giudei. In addition to the towers, the Piazza now houses a 17th-century statue of San Petronius of Bologna, the patron saint of the town. Alongside the Piazza stands the church of San Bartolomeo and the Palazzo Strazzaroli, previously Palazzo dell'Arte dei Drappieri, and now Libreria Feltrinelli.
