Piazza San Bernardo

Piazza San Bernardo

This panorama shows Piazza San Bernardo, which forms a busy intersection and has unfortunately been turned into a parking lot.

The Piazza San Bernardo is probably best known for the Fountain of Moses (fontana del Moses). The official name for this fountain is the 'Fontana dell'acqua Felice'. It is the 'display' of the Felice aqueduct, the point at which the aqueduct terminates. It has become known as the Fountain of Moses because of the large statue of Moses in the middle alcove of the fountain.

There are three notable churches that border the Piazza San Bernardo - San Bernardo alle Terme, Santa Susanna and, lastly, Santa Maria della Vittoria, where you can see the Ecstasy of Theresa by Bernini which was popularised in Dan Brown's novel Angels and Demons.

The Piazza San Bernardo also forms the junction of three 'Rione' or districts of Rome, and each of the three churches stands in a different one. Santa Susanna is in Rioni Trevi, San Bernardo alle Terme is in Rioni Castro Pretorio, and S Maria della Vittoria is in Rioni Sallustiano.

From here the Via Torino heads south to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
