Piazza Navona in Rome is approximately
1.5 km from the Belli Guest House Rome and we suggest
you take one of the local buses to reach it - ask
the hotel concierge for more information on how to
reach Piazza Navona.
The best time to visit Piazza Navona
is in the early evening when the square is packed
with street entertainers, artists painting portraits
and caricatures and lots of trendy Romans taking their
pre dinner passeggiata or stroll.
Important architectural works within
the square are: the fountain of four rivers ( Bernini
) and the Church of Sant'Agnese in Anone (Borromini)
- Bernini was a great rival of Borromini and Rome
contains many fine examples of their works including
some near the Belli Guest House Rome
Did you Know? The word Navona is
derived from the ancient Latin word meaning Ship -
The square is so called because it takes the shape
of ship.
