Piazza Navona
It was built in the 1st century AD as an open public space in Rome. Piazza Navona was mainly used to hold contests for athletes and gladiator shows, known as Circus Agonalis. And at that time, this was the only masonry stadium present in Rome.
Piazza Navona has 3 central fountains; the most famous one is Fontana Dei Quattro Fiumi’ which is present in its center and was made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. So if you do not have much time to see all three rivers, you can only visit this river.
