About Campo de' Fiori
Campo de' Fiori is one of the liveliest squares in Rome’s historic center, a few steps from Piazza Navona. The name recalls the flowery field that stood there before the square was urbanized in the 15th century. Unlike other squares in the area, it has no church: the façades are simple houses and palaces.
From Monday to Saturday in the morning, the square hosts a street market with stalls selling fruit, vegetables, flowers, spices and dried pasta. Nowadays many stalls cater to visitors, but you can still see the rhythm of a Roman market and buy seasonal fruit. The market is taken down in the early afternoon.
In the center stands the statue of Giordano Bruno, the friar and philosopher burned there in 1600 by the Inquisition. The statue, hooded and with a serious look, was placed in 1889. The square was used for public executions in the papal era, and Bruno’s figure became a symbol of freedom of thought.
Around the square are Piazza Farnese, with the Palazzo Farnese (home of the French embassy), and Via dei Giubbonari, a shopping street that leads to Largo di Torre Argentina. At night Campo de' Fiori fills with young people at the bars and restaurants with tables in the square.
