A Journey Through Rome’s Most Iconic Piazzas

If you're wondering what to see in Rome, the answer lies not only in its historic palaces, the ancient city with its Forums, or the extraordinary works of art housed in Rome’s best museums, but especially in its streets rich in history and architecture. Among boulevards, alleys, and open spaces, you’ll find famous and enchanting piazzas, paved with cobblestones and adorned with statues, columns, arcades, and fountains. Let’s discover the most beautiful ones.

7 Must-See Spots

Let’s start this fascinating tour at Piazza Navona, built on the ancient stadium of Emperor Domitian, which is why it has an elliptical shape. Within it, you’ll find three stunning Baroque fountains: Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, the Fountain of Neptune, and the Fountain of the Moor. Even larger is Piazza del Popolo with its Flaminio Obelisk. Here, you’ll find the Church of Santa Maria del Popolo, featuring two paintings by the Baroque artist Caravaggio.

Among the most iconic is definitely Piazza di Spagna, framed by the **Spanish Steps** built in 1723, which connect it to Trinità dei Monti. It is one of the most admired places in the world by tourists. Elegant and superb, it is home to the Fountain of the Barcaccia. Even Goethe chose it as his place of stay.
