Another amazing Baroque certain by Borromini -- note it is only open Sunday mornings, and closed for at least part of August.

Got to Piazza Sant Eustachio and enjoy the best coffee in Rome at Caffè Sant Eustachio. While doing so, don't miss to stare at the "Guglia" of Sant Ivo which was designed by the genius of Borromini.

The Church of Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza is perhaps the greatest masterpiece of Baroque architect Francesco Borromini and certainly one of the most beautiful Baroque churches in Europe. It was erected in the years 1642-60, at the behest of Pope Urban VIII, in the context of the Palazzo della Sapienza, at the east end of the porticoed courtyard that architect Giacomo Della Porta had built at the beginning of the century. The small church was configured as the chapel of the University of Rome.

You cannot leave Rome without taking the Baroque's route, sightseeing the most important Bernini and Borromini's works of art. These architects shaped what in the 17th century was the fanciest and classiest city in the world. What you cannot miss: - Piazza Navona with Sant'Agnese in Agone facade and the Fountain of the Four Rivers - Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza and his unique, super elegant dome (one of my favorite in Rome) - Via XX Settembre and its churches - Ponte Sant'Angelo and its statues - The world famous Galleria Prospettica and its illusionism, in Palazzo Spada - The Spada Chapel in the San Girolamo della Carità Church (might not be Borromini, but still the Baroque's genius at its finest!) - The Oratorio dei Filippini and Santa Maria in Vallicella - The Propaganda Fide Palace and Sant'Andrea delle Fratte
