Square

Introduction

Located in Rome's rectangular square, Campo dei Fiori, unlike most squares, there is no church here. Historically, it was the place where executions were carried out and a permanent gallows was set up in the square. On February 17, 1600, the famous philosopher Bruno was burned alive by the Roman Inquisition because his ideas were considered dangerous. Today, the square has become one of the bustling commercial areas with all kinds of shops and is a must-see for tourists. Every morning except Sundays, the square is lively with a market for vegetables and fish, and various vendors gather here. After the vendors disperse in the afternoon, the square becomes a beer garden beloved by young people. If you want to hear authentic Roman dialect, this is also a good choice.
