Piazza Navona is a famous historical square in the Heart of Rome, Italy, built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian. The Stadium of Domitian was built in the 1st century AD by the Emperor Titus Flavius Domitianus but fell into ruin after the Fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Piazza Navona was defined as a public space of the Eternal City in the last years of 15th century and follows the form of the stadium. It is a significant example of Baroque Roman architecture with the famous Fountain of the Four Rivers (Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi) designed in 1651 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the Obelisk of Domitian, brought in pieces from the Circus of Maxentius and the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone. Piazza Navona has two more fountains: Fontana del Moro with a basin and four Tritons sculpted by Giacomo della Porta (1575) to which, in 1673, Bernini added a statue of a Moor, wrestling with a dolphin at the southern end and the Fountain of Neptune also created by Giacomo della Porta in 1574 at the northern end.
