Piazza Navona*

Nothing compares to the enternaintment and beauty of the square located in the center of Rome known as Piazza Navona. The piazza is filled with people roaming about watching its theatrical acts and taking pictures by the three extravagant fountains. Some of the piazza's detailed statues were built and restored by Rome's most notorious artists such as Giacomo Della Porta and Gion Lorenze Bernini and date back to the 15th century. Of the three fountains the most spectacular is La Fontana Dei Fiumi with its lifelike poses and representation of ancient Rome. No matter what season it is, the square attracks thousands of people a day to its shops and cafes. Musicians playing various instruments like the banjo and accordion provide hours of amusement for onlookers. Artists offer to paint pastel or black and white portraits for a fair price. The outdoor cafes attract people with their sweet smells and picturesque look. The Piazza will remain a main attraction for many years to come.
