VIEW FROM THE TERRRACE ON PINCIO |
"THE
BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF ROME FROM THE TERRACE ON PINCIO"
Pincio is a real goal to all the Romans both during the day and
nighttime. Being adjacent to the popular Villa Borghese and some
of the most interesting museums of Rome the Pincio's garden are
a must for all travellers. There're three ways we do want to suggest
you to reach the Pincio: the first from Villa
Borghese Park is probably the more evocative as it'll
take you to a beautiful panoramic terrace that will make you hold
your breath. The terrace appears on the Piazza del Popolo, oval
shaped square with a series of marble statues on its perimeter and
a egyptian obelisk in the middle dating back to 2.000 b.C.. It was
brough to Rome by Emperor Ottaviano Augusto and placed in the Circo
Massimo to celebrate the victory on Antonio and Cleopatra and the
conquest of Egypt. Two domes of twin churches Santa Maria dei Miracoli
and Santa Maria di Montesanto are also well visible as well as the
most famous Michelangelo's Dome of St. Peter's Basilica. Moving
your eyes to the left you'll see also the Vittoriano,
another panoramic spot of Rome.
Another way to arrive is coming up from Popolo's Square, a walking
that will better let you see the square from different angles.
The last entry to Pincio is walking from Trinità dei Monti,
the church on the top of Spanish Steps. |
