Piazza Farnese

  Piazza Farnese sits in the heart of Rome, nestled between the charming streets of the historic district. Dating back to the 16th century, this square is renowned for its stunning Baroque architecture, particularly the Palazzo Farnese, which now houses the French Embassy. Dominating the center are two beautiful fountains designed by the famed sculptor Giacomo della Porta, each made from ancient Roman marble. If you're there in the spring months of April or May, the square is often bustling with people enjoying the outdoors while artists display their work. Visitors can take a moment to relax on the benches or savor a gelato from nearby cafes while soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.
