Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi

The fountain showcasing the Romanian architecture is treasure to eyes. If you are at Rome do visit it. This is a famous public square built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian. It is a major landmark and a hub for restaurants and pizzerias. Many restaurants in this area cater to tourists, but some are known for their authentic Roman cuisine and pizza. Piazza Navona is one of the most beautiful and lively squares in Rome, known for its stunning Baroque architecture, fountains, and vibrant street performances. The atmosphere is always buzzing — with artists, musicians, and entertainers bringing the square to life. During our visit, a **ring dancer** was performing near the Fountain of the Four Rivers, and it added a magical touch to the experience. The grace and strength of the performance, set against the backdrop of centuries-old buildings and glowing evening lights, created an unforgettable moment. Tourists and locals alike stopped in awe, applauding as the performer spun and danced inside the ring with perfect rhythm and elegance. It’s more than just a historical site — Piazza Navona feels like an open-air theater where history and modern street art meet beautifully. Visit in the evening for the best ambiance and performances. Enjoyed a gelato, sit by a fountain, and soak in the energy.

The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is breathtaking up close. Bernini’s sculptures feel alive, each river god full of movement and personality. The towering obelisk adds dramatic elegance, and the water’s sound brings calm to the lively Piazza Navona. It’s impossible not to stop, stare, and admire this masterpiece of Rome.

We absolutely loved the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi! It’s honestly one of the most beautiful fountains we’ve ever seen. The details are incredible — every figure looks alive. The whole vibe in Piazza Navona makes it even better. Definitely one of those spots in Rome you can’t miss!

Beautiful fountain in the heart of the repurposed Stadium of Domitian. The fountain was carved by Bernini in the mid 1600’s, and is one of his most famous works. Each of the sides represents four massive rivers on the four known Continents—the Nile, the Danube, the Ganges and Rio de la Plata.

Beautiful and iconic fountain in the heart of Rome! Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is full of stunning details and incredible artwork. The atmosphere in Piazza Navona is amazing, perfect for photos and enjoying the historic surroundings. A must-visit spot when exploring Rome!”

This was our favourite fountain in Rome (so far). Went at night. Really beautiful with the church facade behind. Also some good places to eat nearby, though the best ones are typically not on the square. Try some of the back alleys for a more authentic experience.

Beautiful and relaxing spot to walk and unwind in the heart of Rome. The piazza is very walkable with plenty of charming cafés to grab an espresso or cappuccino. I loved listening to street musicians and watching local artists draw and paint live—it really adds to the atmosphere. The only downside is the lack of public restrooms and shaded seating areas, especially on hot sunny days. Still, a must-visit for the vibe alone!

Located at the center of Piazza Navona. The fountain is dramatic, full of movement and symbolism. Each river god is sculpted with incredible detail and expression, surrounded by exotic animals and plants, while a towering ancient Egyptian obelisk rises at the center. It’s a breathtaking work of art that combines water, stone, and storytelling — a highlight of any visit to Rome. Whether you're admiring it by day or lit up at night, it leaves a powerful impression. **Tip:** Stand at different angles to catch the full beauty of each figure — and don’t forget to look up at the obelisk!
