We will have an opportunity to admire the fountain piercing the centre of this square, of Roman origin, was restored by Bernini in 1659. The beautiful Romanesque facade of Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere glitters after a long restoration.
This portico was probably built by emperor Augustus between 33 and 23 BCin memory of his sister Octavia. It was a double-columned porch of a rectangular form adorned by sculptures and paintings. The portico made an easier access to the Marcello theatre.
