Piazza della Reppublica is one of those squares you might pass by, during the day, and even do not stop here. Huge traffic in this area with lots of buses might hide what is worth of seeing. It is, however, one of the most attractive sights in Rome during the night time. The whole area around the square is almost perfectly illuminated and the sleeping beauty shine in all of its attraction. Leave a Comment

 A view over Piazza del Popolo by Jmill42 The best thing about Europe and especially Italy are the public sqaures or piazzas. Not pizzas; piazzas! At any time of the day or night you cn find locals and tourists alike centered around these great places, either talking, kissing, running, being arrested, whatever. There is always something going on, and thats why they are so great. In Rome, most of them are graced with some elaborate fountain or obelisk.
Out of all the piazzas in Rome, my favorite is Piazza del Popolo. Mainly because it is close to Villa Borghese, Via de Corso, a metro, and my friends house. Leave a Comment

 flower market - well it wa :-S by sandysmith This lively functional campo is now home to a daily flower market in the old square. It used to be a camp covered by green grass and flowers - this probably gave the name to the square: Campo di Flora. The square subsequently became a site of market, hotels, inns, book-shops and houses of famous courtesans. As one of the city centers here the executions took place as well.
We missed this on our trip in March but found it on our visit later that year in June - just as they were packing up!

Piazza Republica is at the end of Via Nazionale (the end closest to Roma Termini). There is a beautiful fountain in the centre of the Piazza. The fountain is called ‘Najadi’ (Fontana delle Naiada) and was created by Mario Rutelli. ‘Naiad’ is a word for water-nymphs, and there are four of them in this fountain taking on other sea creatures. There is also a man in the centre, holding (or struggling?) with a large fish. Around the piazza there is also a McDonalds, a cinema, an expensive looking hotel and Santa Maria degli Angeli, a basilica which was originally designed by Michelangelo. Metro: Repubblica Leave a Comment

 Piazza Colonna, Rome by tompt All over Rome you will encounter columns. Some are made by order of an emperor, mostly to honor him or his great acts. Others are much older and brought here from countries that were conquered by the roman empire. The highest can be found at the Piazza di San Giovanni in Laterno. It is 31 meters high and built in Thebe 15th century BC. It was brought to Rome in 357 as ordered by Constantine II and was placed in the Circus Maximus. Some columns are beautifull decorated with stories of the victorious romans. A good example is standing at the Piazza Colonna. (see picture) This column was made in 180 after Marcus Aurelius died and depicts his victories over the barbaric tribes. The column is restored in 1588 and the statue of the emperor on top was replaced by a statue of St Paul. The column is almost 30 meters high and 3.7 meter in diameter. Leave a Comment

Piazza Argentina is one of those squares where you drop even if not intended to. It is one of the key points from where and to many public transportation means leading tourists and visitors of Rome. It was not easy to get taxi in Rome during New Year holidays, but from here it was much easier than from the other places in the city.
On the other hand, Piazza Argentina is a must see because of the huge structure of remains from the Roman times, which dominates the whole square....... Leave a Comment

Nestled between Corso Vittorio and the Tiber River, is this wonderful jumble of umbrella-topped stalls bursting with flowers and vegetables, meats and cheeses, and even T-shirts, hosiery, and luggage. The market takes place each morning except Sunday, and neighbors fill shopping bags with all the very freshest treats of Lazio. Only seasonal foods are found here.
Walking throught the beautiful stalls with brightly colored flowers and smells of those wonderful fresh fruits and cheeses. Leave a Comment

 Piazza del Popolo without people by karenincalifornia All the piazzas in Rome are magnets for people. You won't see many people if you take a stroll at 5:00 am in the morning. Piazza del Popolo was a 5 minute walk from the Hotel Dei Mellini, and is one of the gateways to Villa Borghese, Rome's counterpart to Central Park. Leave a Comment

 Piazza del Popolo by mrclay2000 The Piazza del Popolo at the north end of the city is the first thing to greet people entering through the Porta Flaminia. Access to the Villa Borghese is just outside the gates from this square, which has the four lions gurgling acqua beneath another obelisk. At times the square is used to display new cars, and motorcycles often choke the environs. The square has some great overlooks on its perimeter, and two thoroughfares going straight to the Spanish Steps and the Piazza Venezia, but otherwise this square attracts the people who have no other square to use. Personally I like the place, but not because of its crowd of outcasts and misfits. Without much merit of its own, it is closely associated with the dearest parts of Rome. Leave a Comment

 Piazza Barberini, early morning by mrclay2000 Though I said in the introduction that Rome has the best squares in Europe, some are a little bit rundown and even lonely, though the guidebooks drum them up beyond their merits. Take the Piazza della Reppublica. It has a great central fountain but is not people-friendly with its massive traffic (the strangulation of cranes and horses by the sculpted figures isn't very warming either). The Piazza Barberini has an even lonelier fountain. Leave a Comment
