Things to do in Trevignano Romano

Though not as old as some of the ancient monuments you’ll find across this historic city, the Piazza Navona is nonetheless a beautiful spot. Surrounded by façades built back in the 17th century when Pope Innocent X commissioned such legendary artists as Bernini, Borromini and Rainaldi, this space is a testament to Rome’s artistic heritage.

This legendary staircase was first dreamt up back in the 1700s. It was then that architect Francesco de Sanctis and Alessandro Specchi came up with a plan to design and build 138 steps to make it easier for locals to reach the Trinita dei Monti church. With their curves, straight lines, vistas and terraces, the stairs blend beautifully into the surrounding piazza.

Famous for its towering dome, St. Peter’s Basilica is the icon of the Vatican state as well as a vaunted artistic symbol of the Late Renaissance and Baroque periods.

Rome’s premier green space, Villa Borghese is not only home to glistening lakes and peaceful gardens, but also contains several interesting cultural institutions. Amble along the pathways and lawns, view a collection of stunning Renaissance masterpieces at the Galleria Borghese and check out rare pre-Roman artifacts at the Museo Nazionale Etrusco.

Embrace the hustle and bustle as people from all over the world converge beside the charming Sinking Boat Fountain in the Piazza di Spagna. Almost every visitor who steps foot in Rome finds themselves at this busy piazza at some point. Admire the lovely fountain, climb up the iconic Spanish Steps and see frescoes inside the rustic French Chiesa della Trinita dei Monti.
