    One of the most famous squares in Rome, historically the main entrance to the city for those arriving from the north. In the center stands an ancient Egyptian obelisk, brought to Rome by Emperor Augustus.

From above, the Pincio offers a spectacular panoramic view of the city.

    Trevi Fountain

    The Trevi Fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world and a masterpiece of Baroque. Designed by Nicola Salvi in the 18th century, it depicts the god Ocean on a shell-shaped cart, pulled by sea horses. According to tradition, throwing a coin into the fountain with his right hand over his left shoulder, ensures his return to Rome. Every day, thousands of visitors participate in this ritual, contributing to the city's charitable works.

  • Pantheon (Pass by)

    Built over 2,000 years ago, the Pantheon is one of the best preserved monuments of ancient Rome. Originally a temple dedicated to all gods, today it is a church. Its most extraordinary element is the large dome, still the largest in the world in unreinforced concrete. In the center, the open oculus lets natural light filter in, creating a suggestive and unique atmosphere.
