Emperors and popes would be paraded through the arches before reaching their final resting places. While heavily associated with a romanticized imperial Rome, the main attraction of the Forum to medieval papal processions was the open space that could accommodate a more significant number of people. The streets of medieval Rome were tight and ill-suited for hosting crowds. As liturgy developed over the medieval period, the pope found himself responsible for addressing the people of the city no less than six times during the procession, each at a location of liturgical or historical significance. In order to do so, the procession needed space for the masses to congregate, and thus the Forum was used. Even before the medieval period, the Forum was not considered to be an ideal location for a processional stop. Basilicas and houses congested the entrances to the space, which limited the visual aspect of the liturgy to the surrounding streets. Between the 9th and 14th century, the population of Tiber bend more than tripled, and processional routes began to favor the area. After the popes’ return from Avignon in the 14th century, the church began to invest heavily in processional infrastructure near the Tiber bend and the Vatican, reconfiguring city spaces to open up wide, straight roads that allowed processions more spatial freedom. Rather than continuing to use the Forum, popes instead chose to address the people in the piazzas in front of major churches and other landmarks within these redesigned processional spaces.
