In the center of the square is Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
(Fountain of the Four Rivers)

"Depicts God and the four great rivers in the four
continents as then recognized by the Renaissance geographers: the Nile, the Ganges,
the Danube & the Rio de la Plata"

designed by Bernini
1651
for Pope Innocent X 

 

Piazza Navona (from the air)
Clearly not one
of our photos

This plaza is one of the largest and most beautiful piazza squares (actually oblong)
in Rome.
It is steps from the Trevi fountain and one of my favorite places to visit
thus far...not as many people...

"The reason for its long oval shape is that it was once
the site of the Stadium if Domitian"
It was cobble stoned in the 15th century and hasn't changed
much since.
A great place to grab a snack and people watch
