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 Art
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. |
