Piazza Navona

Our final activity in Rome was visiting the Piazza Navona.  This was again a recommendation from a member of the tour group and it was an excellent recommendation.  This piazza is long and rectangular and chariot races were supposedly held here in ancient Rome.  There is a huge fountain in the center of the piazza with two small fountains, one at each end of the piazza.  It is easy to see how races could have easily been held there.

Along one long side of the piazza are restaurants with large outside seating areas.  In the center of the piazza were scores of artists displaying their work.  Linda had a great time shopping there and ultimately purchased two paintings of Italian locations from our trip to remind us of what we have done.

This is also where we had our last dinner in Rome, and it was an excellent one.  It was the perfect way to finish 3 busy but great days in Rome.
