Piazza  Navona​

Latest update: 26 February 2022
One of the most prominent features of Rome's centro storico is the Eternal City's favourite square: Piazza Navona. The rectangular piazza dates back to the 1st century AD and in modern times provides one of the busiest open spaces in the Rome. 

The eastern flank of the piazza is dominated by a series of outdoor restaurants and bars which help to create the general buzz.
It's adorned in its centre by a series of landmark fountains, the Fontana del Moro, the Fontana di Nettuno and ​the Fontana dei Fiumi, out of which protrudes a seventeenth century obelisk. The eastern side of the piazza is fringed with historical buildings including the Palazzo Pamphili while the Chiesa di Sant'Agnese in Agone lends the square a sense of Baroque grace.
