III - Lists of the Monuments
(Monument to Pope Honorius IV in S. Maria d'Aracoeli)
What follows is a list of the monuments of the Popes from Martin V to John Paul II. There is a broad correlation between the death of the pope and the execution of his monument, but there are some remarkable exceptions and for this reason the monuments are also listed chronologically. The links in the middle column when referred to a church lead to a .html file providing an overview of the church. Links to the papal monuments in some cases lead to a .jpg file (in this case they open in another window).
