Piazza di Spagna

The Piazza di Spagna is a landmark in Rome. Ezio visited just after arriving in Rome in 1500.

Present days
In the piazza, at the corner on the right is the house where English poet John Keats lived and died in 1821; it is now a museum dedicated to his memory, full of memorabilia of the English Romantic generation.

Database entry
The future site of the famously peculiar Piazza di Spagna, this public expanse at the foot of the Spanish Steps is shaped as an elongated triangle rather than a square. Named after the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See, the Piazza became one of Rome's most popular meeting places. Notably, the Romantic poet John Keats spent his final hours in a flat overlooking the Piazza. A thing of beauty is a joy forever... except when you're about to die of TB.
