BAROQUE
ROME TOUR
Piazza
di Spagna, Fontana di Trevi, Pantheon, Piazza Navona,
Your
local guide will take you on a pleasant stroll through BAROQUE ROME, where
you can admire the Spanish steps, probably the most beautiful staircase
ever built, projected by Specchi in 1732 to connect the Church of Trinità
dei Monti at the top to Piazza di Spagna at the bottom where the
“Barcaccia fountain” by P.Bernini.lies.
Next to the Spanish Steps, along the Via Condotti, you can see
Rome’s most exclusive designer and jewellery shops.
At Fontana dei Trevi, your guide will explain why we toss a coin
into the fountain. This baroque style jewel, familiar to us thanks to
movies such as “Roman holiday”," La dolce vita” and “3 coins
in the fountain” was built in 1735 to commemorate the restoration of the
Virgin water aqueduct.
Crossing Via del Corso continuing on to Emperor Hadrian’s temple, better
known as the Pantheon.
The Pantheon, whose dome inspired all the renaissance artists, is the most
incredible standing ancient Roman temple where Raphael is buried.
To end our tour we will stop at Piazza Navona, where you will see the
ruins of the ancient Domitian stadium, admire Bernini’s famous fountains
and Borromini’s Santa Agnese church.
