Piazza Navona - Rome

Piazza Navona is one of the most famous squares of the city.

Of imperial origin, it was used as a stadium under the emperor Domiziano, then converted into a monumental square by Pope Innocent 10th.

The square is embellished with remarkable buildings, among which stand out: the palace of the Pope family, Pamphili Palace; the church of Saint Agnese, which, according to the legend, lies in the same place of the brothel where the saint was locked in punishment; the fountains of the Four Rivers, the Moorish fountain and the Neptune fountain.

The most famous of this lot is certainly the Fountain of the Four rivers, a work by Bernini, in which the river Ganges, the Danube, the Rio de la Plata and the Nile are represented (this last one appears blindfolded, to symbolize the mystery that, at that age, still enveloped its springs)
