Piazza Navona
Take a walk through the bustling Piazza Navona, perhaps the most beautiful square in Rome with its magnificent fountains, including the famous Fountain of the 4 Rivers by Bernini.
Navona Square is one of the most spectacular and characteristic squares of Baroque Rome, built on the remains of the Stadium of Domitian. The shape of the current square reproduces precisely the perimeter of the ancient stadium that the emperor built in 86 AD for athletics competitions and horse racing.
Over the centuries, Piazza Navona has been the scene of popular festivals, races and rides. From the 17th until the mid 19th century, on Saturdays and Sundays in August, Piazza Navona, which at the time had a concave bottom, was partially flooded to offer refreshment and entertainment to the Romans.
