Piazza Navona is one of Rome's most iconic and lively squares, celebrated for its stunning Baroque architecture and vibrant atmosphere. Located in the historic center of the city, this piazza was originally built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, and its shape still reflects the outline of the ancient sports arena.
The location of Sant'Agnese in Agone location in Piazza Navona adds to its charm, as the square was built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian, and the church itself enhances the historical and architectural splendor of the area. The church is a testament to Baroque art and architecture and is well worth a visit for its artistic and historical significance.
The Domitian’s Stadium (Stadio di Domiziano) was an ancient Roman stadium built by Emperor Domitian in the 1st century AD. Located beneath the present-day Piazza Navona, it was primarily used for athletic events and races.
