From piazza di Spagna to Sant’Ignazio di Loyola
The itinerary of the Baroque Rome starts from Piazza di Spagna, easy to reach with the metro line A, with the stairs of the Trinity of the Mounts.
Continuing along Via Condotti, one of the most famous place of Rome, and turning left on Via del Corso, one arrives to the 18th century Fountain of Trevi.
The Fountain is located in front of Palazzo Poli, as if it was laying against it and the tradition wants that anyone launching a coin while giving the shoulders to the Fountain and reaching it will come back to Rome.
Continuing our walk, we take Via del Tritone at the end of which we find the church of Sant’Andrea delle Fratte, with the belfry and the cupola of Borromini.
Our itinerary ends with the visit of the church of Sant’Ignazio di Loyola, from the Jesuit Order, inside which we can observe the frescoes on the vault representing the Triumph of St.Ignazio.
