The Navona area is <strong>famous for the impressive square</strong> which bears the same name: Piazza Navona. This square is essentially the focal point of the neighborhood, with its wonderful buildings all around it and its <strong>majestic fountains</strong>. The Navona area is, as the rest of Rome, very rich in historical facts. Be sure to learn about the story behind the fountain in the center of the piazza… a true 17th century soap opera! The baroque church of <em>Sant’Agnese in Agone</em>, which faces the square, is also worth peeking into. Don’t forget to treat yourself to an <strong>aperitif at Piazza Navona</strong>; you’ll love the experience of being surrounded by such grandeur. Near your Rome apartment, you’ll find “<em>Antico Caffe della Pace</em>”, an institution in the city, a place where you can sit and have a drink among friends. Antique collectors, you’ll be glad to know that the historic street of “<em>Via dei Coronari</em>” is in the Navona district and offers plenty of <strong>antique shops</strong> waiting for you to come in and take an old piece of Rome home.
