Piazza Navona

Piazza Navona

A vibrant square with a unique shape, featuring Baroque architecture, stunning fountains, and a lively atmosphere, showcasing Rome's urban drama.
Piazza Navona occupies the footprint of Domitian’s ancient stadium and still retains its long, curved outline. In the Baroque period it became one of Rome’s most theatrical public spaces, framed by palaces, churches and fountains. Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers and Borromini’s Sant’Agnese in Agone define much of its character. Even when crowded, the square remains one of the clearest expressions of Rome’s flair for urban drama.
