Piazza Navona in Rome is one of turist
attractions of Rome. We suggest you take one of the
local buses to reach it - ask the hotel's concierge
for more information on how to reach Piazza Navona.
The best time to visit Piazza Navona
is in the early evening when the square is packed
with street entertainers, artists painting portraits
and caricatures and lots of trendy Romans taking their
pre dinner passeggiata or stroll.
Important architectural works within
the square are: the fountain of four rivers ( Bernini
) and the Church of Sant'Agnese in Anone (Borromini)
- Bernini was a great rival of Borromini and Rome
contains many fine examples of their works including
some near the Hotel King Rome
Did you Know? The
word Navona is derived from the ancient Latin word
meaning Ship - The square is so called because it
takes the shape of ship.
