Piazza Barberini is a significant and bustling square in Rome, located between the Quirinal Hill and the Via Veneto.
Fontana del Tritone: At the center of the square, you'll find the Fontana del Tritone (Triton Fountain), a stunning baroque fountain designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1643. The fountain depicts Triton, a sea god, blowing a conch shell.
Fontana delle Api: Another smaller but charming fountain by Bernini, the Fountain of the Bees, is located at the corner of the square.
The square is named after the Barberini family, and the nearby Palazzo Barberini houses the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, featuring masterpieces by Caravaggio, Raphael, and other renowned artists.
