Piazza Navona

AttractionRomeAbout 30 minutes

Built on the footprint of a Roman stadium, which is why it is a long oval rather than a square, with Bernini's Four Rivers fountain in the middle. The cafés on it charge for the position; the streets one block west do not. Best in the evening, and the natural place to end a walk through the old centre.
