Piazza Barberini

Piazza Barberini is of course one of the most visited piazzas in Rome where Bernini's glorious Triton Fountain stands.
The fountain is one of Bernini's masterpieces in honour of his great protector Urbanus VIII.
The four dolphins carry the coat of arms of the Barberini family while Triton blows a jet of water into the air through a shell held up in his hands.

Nearby we can also see the magnificent Barberini Palace whose facade opens up the palace instead of enclosing it within an impermeable block as most other palaces of this epic were constructed.

Piazza di Spagna

The Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna were once literally Spanish belonging to the area around the Spanish ambassador's residence, located in the western end of the hourglass-shaped piazza since 1622.
This characteristic feature of eighteenth-century town-planning in Rome projected by Francesco De Sanctis, offers an extraordinary background effect to many of the beautiful monuments and buildings found near them such as the majestic sixteenth-century façade of the Trinità dei Monti or the famous Fontana della Barcaccia.
Designed by Pietro Bernini these steps form one of the city's most singular monumental and urban complexes.

Trevi Fountain

Without doubt the most famous fountain in Rome, this late Baroque creation is celebrated for the legend that whoever drinks from it or throws a coin in the fountain, will assure his return to Rome.
This fountain symbolizes the legend of how water was brought into Rome beginning in 19 BC when Agrippa made the decision to build a long canal.This canal was called "Acqua Vergine" meaning virgin water.
The legend tells that the soldiers of Agrippa, looking for water in the country, met a young virgin who led them to the source of this pure water.

Pantheon

Built during the 1st century AD, with no exact date documented, by an unknown architect during the reign of Hadrian, it is known to be the second dome built in the world and the present structure is thought to have been originally built as a temple for all the pagan gods.
The rotonda is also believed to have been a Roman bath.

The portico which fronts the building is what remains of the original temple of Agrippa.

Piazza Navona

Commissioned by the family of Pope Innocent X in 1652, this piazza and its church were built in monumental style. Not long after the the project was initiated it was taken over by Francesco Borromini who is also responsible for the completion of the dome and building of the twin belltowers as well as the concave facade also being his design.
In the centre of the piazza is Bernini's most spectacular fountain, la Fontana dei Fiumi or The fountain of Rivers. Erected in 1651, this fountain features a central rocky structure that supports an obelisk, an ancient Roman imitation of the Egyptian form.
