This large and beautiful piazza is known worldwide as the architectural masterpiece of Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who built it in the mid-17th century. The original purpose of this square in the words of Pope Alexander XII was “so that the greatest number of people could see the Pope give his blessing”. St. Peter’s square is framed by a large colonnade, with 140 statues of Saints on top, that extends from the basilica and then opens into a large curved shape that surrounds the main piazza.
Better known in English as the Janiculum or the Janiculan Hill, it stands as the second-tallest hill in the contemporary city of Rome making this spot one of the best locations in Rome for a scenic view of the Eternal City’s skyline with its domes and bell towers. The Janiculum also houses a Baroque fountain built by Pope Paul V in the late 17th century, the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola. It is also home to several foreign research institutions including the American Academy in Rome and the Spanish Academy in Rome, as well as the magnificent Villa Lante al Gianicolo by Giulio Romano, an important early building by the Mannerist master.
The doorway leading to the Priory of the Knights of Malta, the legendary crusader knights and religious order, has a special keyhole whose vista lines up perfectly with the garden and is centered on the Vatican in the distance. No one seems to be able to say with certainty whether this was a beautifully planned peepshow, or just a lucky coincidence. Anyway, it’s definitely worth a visit!
Also known as Colle Campidoglio, it is one of the seven hills of Rome. Famous nowadays both for the role it had in ancient Roman times and for an important intervention carried out by Michelangelo, who turned the hill into one of the most beautiful piazzas in Italy. From the Capitoline hill, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a spectacular view over the Roman Forum.
The greatest baroque Square in Rome – Piazza Navona was built above the remains of the Stadium of Domitian. It is famous for the nightlife, for the portrait street artists and for the monumental Fountain of the Four Rivers, an authentic masterpiece of Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Known in Italian as the Pincio, this famous hill lies to the north of the Quirinal, overlooking the Campus Martius. Its current appearance is the result of the interventions carried out in this area in the early nineteenth century by Giuseppe Valadier; these include the rearrangement of both Piazza del Popolo and Pincio Terrace, an outstanding viewpoint that overlooks Rome historic center, as well as the construction of the coffee house, better known as Casina Valadier. Other beauties can be seen during a stroll in this part of the city such as Embriaco’s hydrochronometer in the Villa Borghese gardens and the Hadrianic Obelisco.
