What you'll do
If you're heading to Rome for the breathtaking buildings and ancient history, then this tour is one you won't want to miss! St. Agnese in Agone Church is a stunning example of Baroque architecture designed by renowned architects including Francesco Borromini and Giacomo della Porta, and built in the 17th century. It's dedicated to St. Agnes, a Christian martyr who was supposedly executed here.
Experience centuries of history beneath your feet as this tour begins at Navona Square. Originally built on the site of the ancient Stadium of Domitian in the 1st century AD, the square still retains the elongated shape of the former arena.
