This is the shortest of the nine itineraries described. The first part runs along the same street as the third itinerary, that is from St. Peter's along Via della Conciliazione past the stational church of Santa Maria in Transpontina and follows the route across river on Sant'Angelo bridge in front of Hadrian's tomb. In the Parione district your route runs along Via dei Coronari. Nearby in the heart of Renaissance and baroque Rome stands the church of Santa Maria dell'Anima, the German national church, and one of the many national churches that can be seen on this itinerary. Once you are in the ancient district of Campus Martius, the church of Sant'Agostino is an interesting stop, as well as the partly hidden Romanian church of San Salvatore alle Coppelle. The Portuguese national church, Sant'Antonio in Campo Marzio, the Syrian church, Santa Maria in Campo Marzio, and the French church of San Luigi, which houses three of Caravaggio's masterpieces, can all be found in the same district. Continuing straight along Via della Scrofa the route leads you to Piazza Augusto Imperatore, where what remains of the mausoleum to the emperor still lies. To the left is the Ara Pacis, the monument celebrating peace after the campaigns in Gaul and Spain. The itinerary then runs along Via di Ripetta - a name which originates from the ancient river port - past the Croatian national church of San Girolamo. The walk ends in Piazza del Popolo, which is ringed by three interesting churches, the twin churches of Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria di Montesanto,
and on the other side of the square near the gate, the basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo.
The fourth itinerary has one variant.
a) Crossing the Tiber in front of Castel Sant'Angelo, you follow the route along Via del Banco di Santo Spirito, which becomes Via dei Banchi Nuovi and then Via del Governo Vecchio.
The church of Santa Maria in Vallicella and the basilica of San Lorenzo in Damaso are both in the immediate neighborhood. It then leads to Piazza Navona, site of the ancient stadium of Domitian, where you can visit the churches of Sant'Agnese in Agone, in which Borromini had a hand, and San Nicola dei Lorenesi.
