Stop 1

Piazza Navona is a public plaza in Rome. It is built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, built in the 1st century AD, and follows the form of the open space of the stadium. The ancient Romans went there to watch the games, and hence it was known as "Circus Agonalis" ("competition arena"). It is believed that over time the name changed to in avone to navone and eventually to navona.

The Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini and several others.
