Piazza Navona

Piazza Navona occupies the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian and keeps its elongated shape and the curve at the north end. In the centre stands Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers, topped by the Obelisk of Domitian, which represents the four great rivers known at the time. At the ends are the Fontana del Moro, with the Moor and dolphin added by Bernini, and the Fontana di Nettuno. The church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, with a curved façade by Borromini, and the Palazzo Pamphili, with frescoes by Pietro da Cortona, complete the Baroque ensemble. Every year, from the first week of December until the first week of January, a Christmas market is held in the square.
