Piazza Navona Hotels

A place of daily theatrics since the time of the Ancient Romans, this historic square is a place to come and be immersed in Roman life. Spinning around the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, the scene is a constantly-shifting one of comings and goings, from the Pantheon, to the Campo de’ Fiori, of snap-happy tourists, of time-pressed locals, all played out in front of magnificent Baroque architecture which adds an element of theatre to these routine, incidental activities. It’s quintessential Rome.

Things to see

One side of Piazza Navona is dominated by the baroque masterpiece that is Chiesa di Sant'Agnese in Agone. This whitewashed church takes on the colours of the sun and the sky, imbuing it with ever-changing tones which seem to respond to the constant movement in the piazza. Inside, the decoration is rich and intricate, with highly detailed frescoes and sculptures. Outside the church, the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is one of Rome’s great fountains, completely unmissable thanks to its giant Egyptian obelisk. The fountain represents four rivers across four continents which flow towards the heart of Catholic supremacy. Just south of Piazza Navona, Campo de’ Fiori Market brims with fresh Italian produce and a buzz of bargaining over plump, juicy tomatoes and homemade jars of pasta sauce. Whether you want to buy ingredients for a picnic, or just soak up the sights and smells, it’s a delectable place to visit.
