Fountain of the Four Rivers

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!

A vibrant piazza lined up with several cafes and trattoria and famous fountains including Fontana Neptuno. Several activities happen daily at dawn such as dancing and magic shows and painting & sketching artists. Magical.

Gorgeous fountain built in 17th century when Roman knew only about 4 continents in the world so this fountain represents 4 men each representing biggest river, Ganga in Asia, Nile in Africa, Danube in Europe and Rio de la Plata in Americas. Very interesting and so beautifully designed, sculptures of men from each continent carved in such details. It's amazing!

The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi is the large fountain in the center of Piazza Navona. It was designed by Bernini in the 1600s and is one of the most famous fountains in Rome. The fountain shows four giant river gods representing the Nile, the Danube, the Ganges, and the Rio de la Plata. Each figure has a lot of detail and expression, and there are animals and plants carved around them. An Egyptian obelisk rises from the middle, making the whole thing even more striking. You can walk all the way around it and see something different from every angle. This fountain is a must-see. It feels like the heart of Piazza Navona. Great for photos, people-watching, and admiring Bernini’s work up close.

Scenic & historical fountain in the centre of Piazza Novana I really like this square and the reasons are that this square is really large, it has in fact a few fountains and lots of history around you. This fountain is particularly impressive with the Obelisk fitted inside it. It is really worth seeing and a nice place to come & visit.

The detailed fountain of the four rivers with an obelisk it was designed in 1651, in which their family palace faced the Piazza. You need to walk all around to admire the beauty of it and the small details that merge from different angles. The base supports four river gods, and above them is an egyptian obelisk. The four rivers are the Nile, the Danube, Ranges, and the Rio de la Plata representing four continents.

The fountain is amazing, if you move away from the square a few streets away the restaurants and cafes will improve - even the ice cream

Stunning, as always, the earlier you go, the better since you'll find less crowds. You'll notice that certain areas of the fountain are less crowded than others so make sure you go around to find the best spot and also to view every angle of the sculptures as they are beautiful and have lots of detail.
