Sightseeing tour: Piazza Navona - Pantheon - Palazzo Chigi –- Trevi Fountain

Car at your disposal: 4 hrs

This itinerary celebrates the blossoming of Rome’s last great urban identity: the Baroque. The tour starts from Piazza Navona, a square built on the site of the ancient Roman Stadium of Domitian in the first century AD, and follows the form of the open space of the stadium. The Piazza Navona is now the pride of Baroque Roman architectural and art history with its sculptural and architectural creations by Bernini and Borromini. 

You pass by the Pantheon, a circular temple with a portico of three ranks of huge granite Corinthian columns under a pediment opening into the rotunda, under a coffered, concrete dome, with a central oculus open to the sky, built originally in all the gods of Ancient Rome’s honour. Then you visit Piazza Colonna that is named for the marble Column of Marcus Aurelius which has stood there since 193 CE. The piazza is rectangular. Its north side is taken up by Palazzo Chigi, formerly the Austro-Hungarian Empire’s embassy, but is now a seat of the Italian government. 

The tour ends at Trevi Fountain that dominates the small Trevi square located in the Quirinale district and has been justly celebrated in Federico Fellini’s movie “La Dolce Vita” in 1960.
