Piazza Cavour, Public square and garden in Prati district, Rome, Italy

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 occupies part of the ancient prata Neronis, from which the Prati district takes its name. Its central garden was laid out by Nicodemo Severi between 1895 and 1911, and the monument to Cavour, designed by Stefano Galletti, was begun in 1885 and finished in 1895. The rear side of the Palace of Justice, built by Guglielmo Calderini between 1889 and 1910, faces the square. Restoration ended on 26 January 2012 with a pedestrian area of about 14,000 square metres.

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.
