One of the characteristic places in Rome where the atmosphere is pleasant. Well known for its staircase leading to Trinité-des-Monts.

Not to be missed. In the lively Piazza di Spagna, you'll find the Palazzo della Propaganda Fide, a major training ground for those who spread the word of the Counter-Reformation. At the foot of the famous Trinità dei Monti staircase, the Barcaccia fountain by Bernini, father and son, dates back to 1629. To build it, Bernini's son had to overcome a number of technical difficulties: hydraulic pressure was too low to create jets of water, so the sculptor imagined a sunken boat taking in water from the stern and bow, in the middle of a barely larger oval basin.

A place and a site representative of the Roman life at the foot, market economy, at the top, piety, enough to forgive the small excesses generated by the Italian pleasures, but it is so beautiful and good!

La place d'Espagne est très agréable avec sa fontaine, ses boutiques, ce grand escalier blanc menant à la Trinité des Monts. C'est un lieu très animé où beaucoup de monde se retrouve et en été on apprécie son côté ombragé.

C'est une jolie place avec une fontaine en forme de barque. On peut d'ailleurs y aller pour boire ou remplir une bouteille. Les marches qui mènent à l'église sont très belles mais malheureusement elles étaient en restauration lors de notre visite. La place est entourée de boutiques.
