It is built in the exact area occupied by Rome&#8217;s first stadium (built by Domitian between 81 and 96 AD). The stadium was known as Circus Agonalis (competition arena), which became &#8220;n&#8217;Agona&#8221; when the idea for the square came up  and eventually &#8220;Navona&#8221;. The stadium could accommodate up to 30,000 spectators and was used for various events, including chariot races and athletic contests.  When <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pope_Innocent_X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Innocent X<\/a> was elected Pope (1644-55), he decided to embellish the Piazza to honor his family, the Pamphilj.  With this in mind, he had his family palace and the church of Sant&#8217;Agnese in Agone rebuilt, ordered the restoration of the two fountains that Gregory XIII had installed at either end of the piazza, and commissioned the colossal Fontana Dei Quattro Fiumi in center. Over the centuries, the stadium underwent many changes and transformations, eventually evolving into the picturesque square we see today.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"piazzanavonarome6\">Piazza Navona at Night<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/85568139aead4ffdbb1614173d079430-Piazza-Navona.jpg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress&amp;w=1200&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" data-sizes=\"auto\" alt=\"Piazza Navona at night\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/85568139aead4ffdbb1614173d079430-Piazza-Navona.jpg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress&amp;w=1200&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"177477554\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\" sizes=\"888px\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>Piazza Navona truly comes alive at night, offering a whole new experience for visitors. The square is beautifully illuminated, casting a warm glow on the surrounding buildings and fountains. The cafes and restaurants that line the square stay open late, providing the perfect opportunity to enjoy a romantic dinner or a drink while taking in the magical ambiance. In summer especially, it is advisable to visit the Piazza at night to take advantage of the cooler evening temperatures. The only downside of visiting Piazza Novona at night is that photographs don&#8217;t come out as great as they do during the day. If you haven&#8217;t done a guided twilight stroll in Rome yet, there&#8217;s no better place than the Piazza Navona for it.<\/p>\n<h2>Top Highlights Of Piazza Navona<\/h2>\n<h3><span>1<\/span>Piazza Navona Fountains<\/h3>\n<p>Piazza Navona Rome centers around three lavish fountains &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fontana_dei_Quattro_Fiumi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fontana_del_Moro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fontana del Moro<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fountain_of_Neptune,_Rome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fontana di Nettuno<\/a>.

Having travelled to most of North India when I was a kid to backpacking across South India in my adulthood, I learnt that you often find your 'self' in the most unpredicted of places. And that is my inspiration to travel. To connect with nature, people and cultures. Books are my companion and I find my soul in trees. Music, yoga and literature is my passion. I often dream of attending a Peruvian wedding or living in a quaint Hungarian town for a while. When I am not writing, I think of the Himalayas or go running.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/just.rohit10\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/x.com\/rohitjadhav786"],"url":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/author\/rohit-jadhav\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7505"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7505"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7505\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":160275,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7505\/revisions\/160275"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7505"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7505"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7505"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
