One of the spectacular and typical urban complexes of Baroque Rome. The buildings built on the ruins of the Domitian stadium – of which the square preserves its shape and dimensions – mark its boundary. Festivals, races and jousts took place through the centuries in the square. Since the 17th century until mid-19th century, on Saturdays and Sundays of August the square, at the time with a hollow ground, was partially flooded and naumachias took place here. Today, during the Epiphany, there is a market selling crib figurines, games and sweets.

You will not find any other place in the world that celebrates the ever-mutating and incredible power of water like Rome. The Trevi Fountain is a fantastic work of art that is much more than a mere sculpture. This triumphant example of Baroque art with its soft, natural lines and fantasy creatures embodies movement as the soul of the world. The fountain is a true wonder, a jewel of water and stone that is nestled between the palaces of the historic centre of the city. The light and shade effects on the marble make the wind seem to bellow through the drapes and locks of the statues, agitating the waves, creating an extraordinarily intense and spectacular scene.

One of the most famous square in the world. Spanish Steps welcomes you with its "Barcaccia"sculture (made by Bernini's father) and its high fashon shops. The stair is a perfect photograph set. The Spanish Steps (Italian: Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti) are a set of steps in Rome, Italy, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top.

Via Cola di Rienzo is a shopping street which connects Piazza Risorgimento - next to the Basilica of Saint Peter - to Piazza del Popolo in the heart of historic Rome, where locals usually love to do shopping. There is definitely more genuine feeling here. You'll find pretty much everything from cloth stores to supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, a fresh food market (Mercato Rionale), a large department store (Coin Excelsior), high-end stores and banks. The pleasure of walking along this street is window-shopping. An added bonus is that St. Peter's and the Vatican are just a stone's throw away from here.
