Your rome walking tour leads You to  the Pantheon – the Temple of all Gods – you immediately sense the ancient spirit of this temple, once dedicated to many deities and now transformed into the church of St. Mary and the Martyrs.

The Pantheon still stands, although showing signs of age on its exterior, and it continues to be used for Sunday Mass and occasional weddings. It is the resting place of Italian King Vittorio Emanuele II and Queen Margherita. The famous Renaissance painter and architect Raffaello is also buried here.

Another masterpiece of Baroque art awaits you on your Rome walking tour: Piazza Navona, the square of artists.

Every year, artists from all over the world come here to play music, paint, or perform under the open sky. Yet few people know that in ancient times, this square had a completely different purpose. It was the Stadium of Emperor Domitian, reserved for athletic competitions such as running, wrestling, and boxing. Today, parts of this extraordinary monument can still be visited during the Underground Rome .

In the center of Piazza Navona stands the breathtaking Fountain of the Four Rivers. It represents the world’s major rivers—Danube, Ganges, Nile, and Rio de la Plata—surrounding the Agonale Obelisk. As a true genius, Bernini added symbolic and esoteric meanings to his fountains, where flowing water becomes the essential element of the sculpture.

When you reach the Spanish Steps , don’t be fooled: although everyone says there are 135 steps, the first one is actually a drainage platform. As you climb, look to your right to see the house where English poet John Keats lived and died in 1821.
