PIAZZA DI SPAGNA
One of the characteristic places in Rome where the atmosphere is pleasant. Well known for its staircase leading to Trinité-des-Monts.
Not to be missed. In the lively Piazza di Spagna, you'll find the Palazzo della Propaganda Fide, a major training ground for those who spread the word of the Counter-Reformation. At the foot of the famous Trinità dei Monti staircase, the Barcaccia fountain by Bernini, father and son, dates back to 1629. To build it, Bernini's son had to overcome a number of technical difficulties: hydraulic pressure was too low to create jets of water, so the sculptor imagined a sunken boat taking in water from the stern and bow, in the middle of a barely larger oval basin.

Agréable d'y manger une glace.
Jolie sculpture au bas des escaliers.
Belle vue sur Rome après avoir monté les marches.
