Piazza Navona is one of the most famous and fascinating squares in Rome, known for its oval shape that follows the path of an ancient Roman stadium, the Stadium of Domitian, dating back to the 1st century AD.

The square is famous for its three baroque fountains, among which the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi stands out, a masterpiece by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, which represents the main rivers of the four continents then known.

Surrounded by elegant historic buildings and palaces, including the Church of Sant’Agnese in Agone designed by Francesco Borromini, Piazza Navona is a lively meeting point for tourists and Romans, with cafes, restaurants and street artists that liven up the atmosphere.
