Piazza di Spagna

  Piazza di Spagna sits at the base of the famed Spanish Steps in the heart of Rome's Trinità dei Monti district. These steps, completed in 1725, were designed to link the church above with the piazza below, making it a bustling social hub. The main feature is the impressive fountain called the Barcaccia, shaped like a sinking boat, which adds a unique aesthetic to the square. During spring, especially in April, the area comes alive with azaleas in bloom, creating a vibrant display for visitors. Here, travelers can simply relax on the steps or enjoy the nearby luxury shopping on Via dei Condotti.
