   Rome's Pantheon, the ancient temple of all the gods, was built between AD 118-125 by Emperor Hadrian. Its dome was the largest dome ever until Brunelleschi's dome at the Florence Cathedral was built in 1420-36. In the 7th century, it was made into a church by early Christians but it's still the best-preserved building of ancient Rome.

   You’ll stroll through the bustling Piazza Navona, named the most beautiful square in Italy, which houses three magnificent fountains including the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) by Bernini. Piazza Navona is also one of the liveliest squares of Rome with several quaint outdoor restaurants and cafes.

   The Fountain of the Four Rivers, centrally located in Rome's Piazza Navona, is a monumental statement of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's creative genius. Commissioned in the mid-17th century, the fountain serves as a celebration of the world's four major rivers across four continents: the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Rio de la Plata. Each river is represented by a distinct figure, intricately carved to symbolize its unique character. Exuding a dynamic spirit of the Baroque era, the fountain adds not only to the city's aesthetics but also narrates tales that are integral to Rome's artistic and cultural history.

   Ponte Sant'Angelo, initially built by Emperor Hadrian in 134 AD, is famed for its angel statues, a project overseen by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century. These statues, embodying the Passion of Christ, crown the bridge with a sense of the sacred, making it a visually stunning experience that connects Rome's rich history with Bernini's Baroque artistry.
