Squares And Fountains In Rome

Piazza Navona

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, often known as the Fountain of the Four Rivers, is without a doubt the most famous fountain in Rome. This Bernini masterpiece, which can be seen in Piazza Navona, occupies a full side and completely dominates its surrounds. A massive Egyptian obelisk and two smaller fountains—the Fontana del Moro (Fountain of Neptune) at one corner and the Fountain di Geffola at the other—can be found in Piazza Navona. There is still another fountain directly across from this baroque church, Sant'Agnese da Agone: one Love for the Four Rivers!

Every day, the Piazza is bustling with activity as both locals and visitors enjoy a few ice cold drinks and some sun before continuing their exploration of Rome.



St. Peter's Square

You can't miss the enormous space in front of St. Peter's Basilica called St. Peter's Square! This location is very popular with tourists from all over the world, especially during holy week, when it becomes an important place for prayers and rituals related to religion. The distinctively designed piazza was created by Bernini to allow as many people who want to receive the Pope give his blessing.

It is possible to shelter from the sun thanks to the massive columns surrounding our bench, which also feature two fountains and an Egyptian obelisk at either end. Although there is only one obelisk, it is still worth seeing, however briefly, because its beauty predominates over everything else.

Trevi Fountain

For each traveler to Rome, a must-see is the Trevi Fountain. The famous fountain, which has been providing water since antiquity, continues to impress with its splendor despite being continually replenished by visitors from all over Europe. Make sure your coin tosses are worth more than just one dollar if you choose to throw them into Fontana di Trevi, as it is said that everything thrown there will return tenfold!

Spanish Steps

Rome's Piazza di Spagna is among the most well-known locations. Steps at its base lead to an outstanding vantage point, ideal for travelers who wish to bring their technology with them while admiring this lovely skyline or photographers who want to capture pictures of Bernini's Fountain.

But the piazza's best feature isn't simply what you can see; it also offers something special right beneath your feet: the Trinità dei Monti Church.



Piazza del Popolo

Both visitors and locals love the spacious Piazza del Popolo. With its lovely fountains and obelisk in the middle, it's ideal for wandering! If you're seeking even more picturesque views, head up to Borghese Gardens, which provide outstanding ones overlooking this renowned plaza, which has served as the city's center since ancient times, when Rome was known as Campus Martius.



Fontana dell'Acqua Paola

One of Rome's most spectacular fountains is the Fontana Dell'Acqua Paola, also known as "the Huge Fountain." It can be situated on Gianicolo Hill and is made of marble taken from the Roman Temple to Minerva. It is filled with light blue water and offers stunning views to anyone who visits it.
