Choose a holiday apartment in Rome Piazza NavonaPiazza Navona is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful squares in Rome. The long, oval square is situated on the former Domitian's Stadium which had a larger area compared to the Colosseum. Piazza Navona was the main location for festivals and sporting events in Ancient Rome and hence its former name Circus Agonalis or The Stadium for the Games. Underneath the Piazza Navona are many ancient remains and today, above, many wonderful Roman holiday apartments!Staying in Piazza Navona apartments is a great choice for its wonderful sights and central location. The piazza has three exquisite Baroque fountains: At the heart of Piazza Navona is the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of Four Rivers), while the other two, Fontana di Nettuno (Fountain of Neptune) and Fontana del Moro (Moor Fountain), are located at the northern end and southern end of the piazza, respectively. The Fountain of Four Rivers was commissioned by Pope Innocent X and was built by Gianlorenzo Bernini. The fountain signifies four rivers from four different continents namely Nile River in Africa, Ganges River in Asia, Danube River in Europe, and Rio della Plata in America. On the other hand, the Fountain of Neptune and the Moor Fountain were both built by Giacomo della Porta. The church of Sant'Agnese in Agone which was built by Borromini is another must-see tourist attraction. According to popular belief, the church was built on the site where St. Agnes was stripped naked but was saved from shame by the miraculous growth of her hair. Another remarkable product of Baroque architecture in the piazza is the Palazzo Pamphilj which was the family palace of Pope Innocent X who reigned from 1644 to 1655. Tourists will definitely enjoy strolling around Piazza Navona while looking at amazing artworks from different painters, amateurs and professionals alike that are displayed around the piazza. It will also be fun watching "living statues" that give a comical touch to the scenery in the piazza. The piazza is one of the liveliest squares in Rome and one of the most delightful places to stay. During the day, tourists can take a relaxing walk around the square or lounge in a cozy cafe or restaurant. The enjoyment does not stop after sunset with Piazza Navona's exciting nightlife. |
