Why Go
The square keeps the shape of the Stadium of Domitian, built in the 1st century for athletic contests. Bernini's Fountain of the Four Rivers faces Borromini's church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, the work of two rival masters side by side.
Painters and street musicians fill it by day, and it's at its loveliest after dark.
