Piazza Navona in Rome is one
of turist attractions of Rome. We suggest you take one of
the local buses to reach it - ask the hotel's concierge for
more information on how to reach Piazza Navona.
The best time to visit Piazza Navona is in
the early evening when the square is packed with street entertainers,
artists painting portraits and caricatures and lots of trendy
Romans taking their pre dinner passeggiata or stroll.
Important architectural works within the
square are: the fountain of four rivers ( Bernini ) and the
Church of Sant'Agnese in Anone (Borromini) - Bernini was a
great rival of Borromini and Rome contains many fine examples
of their works including some near the Hotel Anglo Americano
Did you know?
The word Navona is derived from the ancient Latin word meaning
Ship - The square is so called because it takes the shape
of ship. |
