The interplay of light streaming through the oculus and the cool marble interior creates a powerful sense of timelessness.

Your next stop is Piazza Navona, a lively square built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian. Now one of the most elaborate Baroque piazzas in Rome, it is home to Bernini’s celebrated Fountain of the Four Rivers, surrounded by elegant palaces, street artists, and cafés. Your guide will reveal how this former racetrack became one of Rome’s most beloved open-air salons.

The tour ends in atmospheric Campo de' Fiori, once a medieval market square and a place of public executions.
