    Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere

    Church
    Open Details
    The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere (III-IV centuries) is considered to be the very first church dedicated to Our Lady in ancient Rome. According to legend, it was erected on the site where a spring of peace sprang from the earth and announced the birth of Jesus Christ and the dawn of the Christian era. The final appearance of Santa Maria in Trastevere acquired in the XII century, when the high Romanesque bell tower was built, and today the church attracts attention with its mosaics, shining with gold on the simple and strict facade.

    Campo de' Fiori

    Plaza
    Open Details
    In the Middle Ages this land was owned by the Orsini family and remained undeveloped until the fifteenth century. Although Bramante erected a grand palazzo della Cancelleria in the area, the square is still chaotic: it is a mix of inns and market houses (there is still a vegetable and fish market in the square today). The statue of Giordano Bruno, erected in 1889 on the spot where the philosopher was burned, reminds us of the long history of public executions in Campo dei Fiori.

    Piazza della Rotonda

    Plaza
    Open Details
    The square of the Rotonda is one of the most cheerful and democratic places in the city, despite the fact that it is formed right in front of the majestic bulk of the ancient temple of all the gods, the Pantheon. Without feeling too much reverence for the ancient ruins, the Romans enjoy gathering on the steps of the fountain with the Egyptian obelisk by Giacomo della Porta (1575) in the center of the square, sipping cocktails in small neighborhood cafes, eating ice cream and pizza right on the two-thousand-year-old parapet.

    Piazza di Spagna

    Plaza
    Open Details
    Roman Spanish Square is considered one of the most elegant squares in the city. It is often compared to the "great hotel" in which many tourists who come to visit Rome from all over the world meet. Young English aristocrats settled near Piazza della Spagna at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Already in a few years on the square it was easy to meet more Englishmen than Romans themselves for a walk.
