In Rome there is a piazza round almost every corner, each with its own unique atmosphere. Here is a list of 10 of the most evocative and enticing squares to check out in the Eternal City.
1. Piazza Navona
Church
Probably the most elegant piazza in Rome, Piazza Navona was constructed over the ruins of the ancient circus of Domitian and maintains its distinctive oval shape, albeit now lined with gorgeous pastel palazziand dotted with elaborate Baroque fountains. The square is always bustling with activity but is worth visiting at night when the tourist crowds die down and Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers is perfectly lit.
2. Piazza della Madonna dei Monti
Architectural Landmark

As the social hub of the hip district of Monti, the small but lively Piazza della Madonna dei Monti is the hangout spot of choice for young Romans on warm summer evenings. Grab a bottle of beer and a bench by the fountain to join in with the locals or settle down for an aperitivo at one of the charming outdoor bars.
