- Piazza del Popolo - Piazza del Popolo is a renowned square in Rome. Although its name translates to ‘People’s Square’ in Italian, it actually originates from the poplars that once encircled the oval square. Designed in a neo-classical style between 1811 and 1822, its original purpose was to welcome visitors and pilgrims entering Rome from the north via the Via Flaminia. A must-see in Rome.
- Via del Corso - Via del Corso is a famous historical street in the heart of Rome, linking Piazza Venezia to Piazza del Popolo and stretching approximately 1.6 kilometers. It serves as the main artery of the road network known as the Trident.
- Spanish Steps - The Spanish Steps (Italian: Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti) in Rome, Italy, ascend a steep incline between Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, crowned by the Trinità dei Monti church, at the summit. The grand stairway of 135 steps was constructed with funds bequeathed by French diplomat Étienne Gueffier, totaling 20,000 scudi, between 1723 and 1725, linking the Trinità dei Monti church, under the patronage of the Bourbon kings of France, at the top, and the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See in the Palazzo Monaldeschi at the bottom. The stairway was designed by architects Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi.

- Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi - This fountain was commissioned by Pope Innocent X to adorn Piazza Navona, where the construction of Palazzo Pamphilj was underway. In 1647, the pontiff tasked Francesco Borromini with designing a pipeline to bring water from the Aqua Virgo to Piazza Navona and announced a competition for the fountain’s design in the square. Additionally, the pope expressed his wish to restore the obelisk, later named Agonale, which lay in ruins in the Circus of Maxentius on the Appia Antica.
- Piazza della Minerva - The square’s name originates from the former presence of a temple built by Gneo Pompeo Magno and dedicated to Minerva Chalkidiki, whose cult statue is now housed in the Vatican. The Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, the focal point of the entire square, was already mentioned in the 8th century by the Anonymous of Einsiedeln as (ecclesia) “S. Mariae in Minervio.”
