The lively Piazza Navona outlines the ancient Roman stadium of Emperor Domitian and features Bernini’s famed Fountain of the Four Rivers, and the 1700’s Spanish Steps with a wide elegant stairway that connects the Egyptian obelisk on top with the Renaissance Fountain of the Old Boath at the bottom.
