The tour begins in Piazza di Spagna, an 18th century masterpiece. Above is the French church Trinita dei Monti (1502). The square and the church are connected by the monumental Spanish staircase, built between 1723 and 1726 based on a design by Francesco de Sanctis. In the square there is the Fontana della Barcaccia, built in 1598 by order of Pope Urban VIII to commemorate the disastrous flood caused by the Tiber river the same year.
We then visit the exclusive Roman streets such as via Condotti and via del Babuino where you can find the most prestigious shops such as Prada, Valentino and Gucci. Ideal starting point for your purchases in Rome.
From Piazza di Spagna the tour continues with a short walk of about 400 meters towards the famous Trevi Fountain fed by the Roman aqueduct of Acqua Vergine. Before leaving, the tourist must throw a coin into the fountain and this act guarantees their return to the "Eternal City".
A few steps from the Trevi Fountain you will find Piazza Montecitorio with the original obelisk of Heliopolis in Egypt, dating back to the 6th century BC In 10 BC. it was brought to Rome by the emperor Augustus to be used as the gnomon of the Solarium Augusti. Many years later, in 1789, Pope Pius VI moved the obelisk to its current position in front of the Palazzo Montecitorio, which today serves as the seat of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian State.
After this stop we continue to the Pantheon, a building of ancient Rome, built as a temple for all the Olympian gods. The Romans call it the Rotonna, or Ritonna (La Rotonda), from which the square takes its name. The Pantheon was rebuilt between 118 and 128 AD, the façade bears the inscription of Agrippa in bronze letters. The dome of the Pantheon was the largest in the world until the construction of the Florence Cathedral. The interior of the dome symbolizes Heaven. The large hole at the top of the dome is nearly nine feet in diameter and symbolizes the sun.
The tour will continue to Piazza Navona which in Ancient Rome was the Stadium of Domitian, built by the emperor Domitian in 85 AD. to host athletic games. Piazza Navona hosts in the center the Fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini, the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone by Francesco Borromini and Girolamo Rainaldi.
After this visit, the tour will end in Campo de' Fiori. Since 1869 the square has been home to a colorful food market. Previously it had hosted shows, horse races and for centuries Campo de' Fiori was the main stage for public executions. In the center there is a large bronze statue, inaugurated in 1887 by Ettore Ferrari, of the philosopher and Dominican friar Giordano Bruno. The friar was condemned to death for heresy and burned alive on 17 February 1600 exactly where his monument is located.
