Rome - Piazza Navona

In the area of Rome known as the centro storico lies the Piazza Navona - one of the city’s most beautiful meeting places. It was built on top of the ancient Domitian Roman Stadium which seated even more than the Colosseum, hence it’s unusual shape. Against an unbelievably exquisite backdrop of three baroque fountains and intricate buildings are antique shops, suave restaurants and cafes. Performance artists and musicians entertain passers-by whilst stallholders and painters attempt to sell their wares. This is the ultimate place to meet up with friends before heading off to find one of the hundreds of trattorias in this historic area, inhabited for at least two thousand years.
