Piazza di Spagna

Another famous piazza in Rome is the Piazza di Spagna. The Piazza di Spagna sits at the bottom of the Spanish steps. This piazza is populated with many people at all hours of the day, as it is located between an affluent shopping district and the steps which are a popular hangout spot for Romans and tourists. The piazza is characterized by a large fountain in the middle named La Fontana della Barcaccia. Bernini’s father has been credited with building the fountain. The fountain looks like it has a sinking ship in it. The piazza also has historical significance as the home of English poet John Keats is in it. Some information credited to wikipedia.org.
