Piazza Navona

A vibrant masterpiece of Baroque architecture and Roman history, Piazza Navona earns its place on our list for being one of Rome’s most charming and lively public squares. Built on the ancient Stadium of Domitian, its unique oval shape still echoes the arena that once held athletic games. Today, visitors can enjoy stunning fountains like Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, admire street artists and performers, or relax at open-air cafes while soaking in the historical ambiance. With elegant palaces, sculptural beauty, and a constant buzz of activity, Piazza Navona is where art, culture, and Roman life blend perfectly.
