Piazza di Spagna is one of the most beautiful squares in Rome, if not the world. It is located in one of the most elegant areas of the city: Via dei Condotti, Via Frattina and Via del Babuino are just some of the exclusive streets that surround it. Frequented by thousands of tourists every day, it is a meeting and meeting place, so much so that it is called the “living room of Rome”.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It owes its name to the Palazzo di Spagna, seat of the Spanish embassy to the Holy See since the 17th century.<\/p><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the center is the famous Fontana della Barcaccia<\/strong>, which Pietro Bernini and his son Gian Lorenzo built on behalf of Pope Urban VIII. The work, which depicts a boat on the verge of sinking, was inspired by the flood that caused the overflow of the Tiber River in 1598. The splendid Spanish Steps dominate the square<\/strong>, built between 1723 and 1726 on a project by the Roman architect Francesco De Sanctis. Every year, in spring, hundreds of azaleas are placed on the staircase, giving it a triumphantly polychrome look. At the top of the staircase, on the other hand, is the Church of the Trinit\u00e0 dei Monti<\/strong>, one of the five French-speaking Catholic churches in Rome. The building, built in the 16th century, houses valuable works of art from Roman Mannerism.<\/p>

The square also hosts other monuments and buildings of great historical and artistic value such as: the Palazzo di Propaganda Fide<\/strong>, considered one of the most interesting examples of Baroque art in Rome; the Keats-Shelley House<\/strong>, a house museum dedicated to the short, shining lives of the romantic poets John Keats, Percy B. Shelley and Lord Byron; and the Giorgio de Chirico House-Museum<\/strong>, which houses an extraordinary collection of paintings, as well as various objects that belonged to the artist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
