Navona, centered on the elegant Piazza Navona, is a showcase of Baroque splendor and Roman vitality. The square itself is framed by three stunning fountains—the Fountain of the Four Rivers, the Moor, and Neptune—designed by Bernini and his contemporaries. Flanked by grand palazzi and dotted with street artists, gelaterias, and al fresco cafes, Navona pulses with life from morning markets to evening aperitivi. Its nearby lanes hide quaint boutiques and hidden churches, making it a perfect blend of art, architecture, and everyday Roman charm.
