Piazza Navona, Baroque square in Ponte district, Rome, Italy.

The elongated rectangular plaza contains three monumental fountains, including the central Fountain of Four Rivers with an Egyptian obelisk rising from its center.

The square stands on the ancient Stadium of Domitian from 86 AD, where Romans gathered to watch athletic competitions and festivities.

The Sant'Agnese in Agone church, designed by Francesco Borromini, represents a masterwork of Roman Baroque architecture with its concave marble facade.

Visitors can access the square at any time of day, with the evening hours offering opportunities to observe street performers and dine at outdoor cafes.

Until 1866, the city flooded this plaza every summer weekend, transforming it into a temporary lake for entertainment during Rome's hot season.
