Piazza Navona in Rome is one of turist
attractions of Rome. We suggest you take one of the
local buses to reach it - ask the hostel's concierge
for more information on how to reach Piazza Navona.
The best time to visit Piazza Navona
is in the early evening when the square is packed with
street entertainers, artists painting portraits and
caricatures and lots of trendy Romans taking their pre
dinner passeggiata or stroll.
Important architectural works within
the square are: the fountain of four rivers ( Bernini
) and the Church of Sant'Agnese in Anone (Borromini)
- Bernini was a great rival of Borromini and Rome contains
many fine examples of their works including some near
the Michelangelo Palace
Did you Know? The
word Navona is derived from the ancient Latin word meaning
Ship - The square is so called because it takes the
shape of ship.
