Piazza della Rotonda

Square Rome, Latium, Italy

What to expect

Piazza della Rotonda is a city square in Rome, Italy, located on the south side of the Pantheon. The square gets its name from the Pantheon's informal title as the church of Santa Maria Rotonda. The piazza is roughly rectangular and features a fountain and obelisk in the center. The fountain was constructed by Giacomo della Porta in 1575, and the Pantheon obelisk was added to it in 1711. The area was once a busy market, with bird-sellers, fruit, vegetable, and cake stalls. Today, the piazza is a popular tourist destination, offering a glimpse into Rome's rich history and architecture. Visitors can admire the beautiful fountain and obelisk, as well as the stunning Pantheon, making it a great place to visit with family and friends
