Piazza Navona is one of the most famous and arguably the most beautiful of Rome's many squares. The large and lively square features no less than three magnificent fountains.
DOMITIAN'S STADIUM
The square is built on the former Stadium of Domitian, built by Emperor Domitian in 86 AD. The Stadium, which had a larger arena than the Colosseum was mainly used for festivals and sporting events.
The main attraction of piazza Navona is the trio of fountains that adorn the square.The central and largest fountain is the Fountain of the Four Rivers, it was constructed between 1647 and 1651 on request of pope Innocent X.
The fountain features four figures, each representing a river from a different continent - the Nile, Ganges, Danube and Rio de la Plata.
Neptune Fountain & Moor Fountain
The two other fountains on the piazza are the Fontana del Nettuno at the northern end and the Fontana del Moro at the southern end of the square

Rome's Origins
Palatine Hill is the centermost of the famous seven hills of Rome. Located in between such attractions as the Circus Maximus, the Colosseum, and the Roman Forum, evidence from the archaeological digs demonstrates that the hill was inhabited as long ago as the tenth century BC.
The Hill has a strong link to Roman mythology. It ts believed that on Palatine Hill, the twins Romulus and Remus were found in the Lupercal Cave by their four-legged sheered mother, who raised them. Ultimately, this is where Romulus decided to build the city. Therefore, it was on this hill that the Roman Empire began.

Forum Romanum
Until 509 BC, when Rome became republic, the city was reigned by an Etruscan dynasty of a Tarquin Kings. They built a sewer, the 'Cloaca Maxima', to drain water from the marshlands of the valley between the Palatine, Capitoline and Esquiline hills to the Tiber river.
Today, the Forum known as the Forum Romanum can look like a disorderly collection of ruins to the uninitiated, but with some imagination you can see the Roman Empire come back to life at this site. Remains of many buildings from different periods are visible; the forum was littered with temples, basilicas and triumphal arches.
