SPANISH STEPS - TREVI FOUNTAIN
Via della Croce

For a complete presentation, please visit the specific pages on the streets of the quarter:

Of the very few streets beginning from Piazza di Spagna (the square with the Spanish Steps), Via della Croce is perhaps the liveliest, altough it is not noisy. The photos you are looking where snapped in January, Rome's coldest month. As you can see, people can't help enjoying themselves outdoors.

There are many typical Italian restaurants, which between March and late October prepare outdoor tables. Even Rome's Austrian restaurant is situated in Via della Croce (right photo below). As a matter of fact, Austrian towns (Vienna, Salzburg etc.), with their Baroque churches and monuments designed by Italian architects resemble Rome, an additional proof of the Eternal City universal nature, and mother of most European towns.
