Rome’s picturesque squares have been a standing testimony of great Roman history, architecture and heritage. With ornate fountains, glorious monuments, imposing ruins and ancient churches, the squares in Rome are certainly the most effective way to grasp the culture, lifestyle and tradition of the city. In fact, they are even rich in religious and symbolic significance too. Since time immemorial, they have been the centre of royal activities – hosting several iconic events throughout history.
Today, Roman squares radiate the true essence of Italian dolce vita. Romantic, pulsating, lively and colourful, each of these squares feature a unique narrative, each triggering a different emotion!
Below, we have narrowed down three of our favourite piazzas in Rome – read on and bookmark them before you start planning your Italian sojourn!
Piazza Navona
Probably the prettiest of all Roman piazzas, Piazza Navona is a sheer reflection of authentic Baroque flourish and grandeur: thanks to Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, the evocative Palazzo Pamphilj and the spectacular Church of San’Agnese in Agone! The piazza always bustles with activity and heavy footfall.
Piazza di Trevi
Though small in size, Piazza di Trevi is iconic in its own way. It houses the grand and gorgeous Trevi Fountain; the fountain is an architectural, engineering and cultural pièce de résistance. Travellers across the globe haunt this spot to toss a coin into its blessed waters.
