Piazza Cavour

Piazza Cavour is a public square with green spaces in the Prati district, a residential neighborhood between the Tiber River and Vatican City. The layout consists of four symmetrical garden sections with benches, fountains and shade trees.

The square was created in the late 19th century as part of the urban development of the Prati district. The Palace of Justice was built in 1888 on its northern side and has since shaped the appearance of the area.

The name honors Count Camillo Benso di Cavour, one of the founders of modern Italy who lived in the 19th century. Today locals use it for lunch breaks and short rest periods between appointments.

The square is a few minutes walk from Lepanto metro station and served by several bus lines. The green spaces offer shade and seating for a short break during a walk through the neighborhood.

Four pathways cross the square and divide it into separate garden sections, each with different Mediterranean plant species. This arrangement allows multiple passages through and makes it a practical junction in the neighborhood.
