Itinerary from Piazza Venezia to Piazza Navona (passing by the Pantheon)

We walk a short stretch of Via del Corso, turn left onto Via del Caravita, and reach Piazza Sant'Ignazio. The Church of Sant'Ignazio di Loyola, which overlooks the square of the same name, is a masterpiece of Roman Baroque, famous throughout the world for the extraordinary optical illusions of its frescoes created by the Jesuit Andrea Pozzo.

From Piazza Sant'Ignazio, following Via del Seminario, we arrive at the Pantheon, one of the most iconic and best-preserved monuments of ancient Rome. A masterpiece of ancient Roman engineering and architecture, its dome has defied time for 2,000 years. A visit to the monument is a must. A must-see for anyone visiting the city.

Very close to the Pantheon, we can visit the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, a rare example of Gothic architecture in Rome. In the Piazza della Minerva opposite, we can admire the iconic "Pulcino della Minerva," a graceful elephant designed by Bernini holding up one of the obelisks of ancient Rome.

The last stop on this itinerary is Piazza Navona, an open-air baroque salon, one of the most famous and scenic squares in Rome. The square is dominated by three spectacular fountains: the Fountain of the Four Rivers, a masterpiece by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the Fountain of the Moor, and the Fountain of Neptune. Opposite Bernini's fountain stands the monumental Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, designed by Francesco Borromini.
