Campo de' Fiori, Market square in central Rome, Italy
Campo de' Fiori is a rectangular square in the historic center of Rome where an open-air market with fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese and cut flowers takes place on weekdays. In the evenings the space turns into a dining and bar area visited by locals and travelers.
Pope Callixtus III ordered the medieval meadow paved in 1456, creating an important trading place for Rome at the time. Later the site was also used for public executions that continued into the 19th century.
The bronze figure in the center shows Giordano Bruno, whose trial and death took place here in 1600. His execution turned the square into a place of remembrance for freethinkers and scientists.
The market runs from Monday to Saturday until early afternoon, after which the stalls are removed and the pavement cleaned. In the evenings the restaurants and bars around the square open, so the use of the space changes completely.
The streets around the square still carry names of medieval trades such as crossbow makers, hat makers and key makers. These labels recall that entire alleys here were once dedicated to a single craft.

Rome preserves more than 2,000 years of architectural history within its city limits, maintaining ancient temples and amphitheaters beside Renaissance churches and Baroque piazzas. The Roman Forum displays ruins from the first century BC through the fourth century AD, including government buildings and temples that formed the administrative heart of the Roman Empire. The Pantheon demonstrates Roman engineering with its concrete dome, while the Colosseum remains the largest ancient amphitheater ever built. The city evolved through subsequent centuries as papal patronage transformed medieval Rome into a showcase of Renaissance and Baroque art and architecture. The Vatican holds significant religious and artistic collections, including the Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo's ceiling frescoes and Saint Peter's Basilica, the world's largest church building. Throughout the historic center, public squares like Piazza Navona preserve the footprint of ancient Roman structures while displaying Baroque fountains by Bernini and Borromini. The Trevi Fountain draws thousands of visitors daily to its 18th century facade, and the Spanish Steps connect different elevation levels of the city. Rome's neighborhoods maintain traditional Italian life around these monuments, with restaurants, shops and residences occupying buildings from various historical periods.
