Rome - Piazza della Rotonda

The Piazza della Rotonda in front of the Pantheon, the heart of the Centro Storico, is a popular meeting place for all ages, particularly in the summer months. The pleasant cafes, bars and tea rooms which encircle the square and its fountain, create a lively atmosphere late into the night. After visiting the Pantheon visitors may wish to take some refreshment here and sample the delicious "bignes" pastries at Di Rienzo.
The obelisk was found in the Iseo Campense and was placed here in 1711. It was decorated with dolphins and coats of arms of Pope Clement XI.
