Campo de’ Fiori is a rectangular square south of Piazza Navona used as a marketplace during the day, and party central for college students and tourists at night.
The name means “field of flowers” and was first given during the Middle Ages when the area was actually a meadow.
Today the market is a lively place, especially when the daily vegetable market is held here (every morning except Sundays).
Visitors can buy fresh produce at the market, as well as fish, meat, flowers and spices. The square is surrounded by cafes and restaurants, making it a good place to eat after shopping or just wile away the afternoon.
