Photos of Piazza di Spagna

The Plaza de España once appeared in the movie "Roman Holiday" and became the name card of Rome that everyone knows. Hepburn's fresh and bright shadow seems to have been integrated with the Plaza de España and the beautiful Rome, and it has become a memory that people will never forget. Spanish Steps The entire Plaza de España is not large, and the crowd is mainly concentrated near the Spanish Steps. There are 138 steps in total, which are the widest steps in Europe. In the past, it was regarded as a play paradise by young people from all over the world. They could eat, drink, party, dance, play and sing on the steps and have fun day and night. Today it is one of the more popular sightseeing spots in Rome and one of the Romans' favorite date spots. However, you can no longer eat on the steps, posing for photos with ice cream is prohibited, and you are also not allowed to drink on the steps. At the same time, street performers are also not allowed to play guitar performances on the steps. The Holy Trinity Church walks up the steps and comes to the Holy Trinity Church on the mountain. From the pair of bell towers in the church, it can be seen that it is a Gothic building, which is different from the Baroque style that is more common in Rome. The luxurious and refined feel. Standing on the platform in front of the church, you can overlook the entire Plaza de España. In addition, the more famous scenic spot on the square is a Baroque art fountain in front of the steps, which is called the Broken Ship Fountain. The original fountain was small and inconspicuous, and because of the low water pressure, even the water in the fountain was tiny. The designer made a boat that was half-submerged in the pool outside the original fountain. The water from the fountain first flows into the broken ship, and then slowly overflows from the four sides of the ship. In addition, the entire fountain is almost as high as the street level, and it really feels like a leaking ship is about to sink into the ground. In "Roman Holiday", Hepburn is sitting on the steps next to the fountain, eating ice cream. Many tourists stand at the fountain and take their cameras up to take pictures, so that they can take a panoramic view of the Spanish Steps and the Holy Trinity Church. Shelley Memorial In addition to the above-mentioned three famous attractions, there were many artistic celebrities in the area of Plaza de España. The Keats Shelley Memorial is next to the Spanish Steps. The memorial hall displays their manuscripts, letters, photos and other rich materials, and is a must-see for literature lovers.
