"Piazza della Minerva" Elephant Piazza Minerva Tip by DrewV

Elephant Piazza Minerva, Rome: 16 reviews and 24 photos

  Elephant (with Pantheon in background)

The Elephant Obelisk in the midst of Piazza della Minerva is one of Bernini's less celebrated works, but it's still pretty groovy. Behind the obelisk is the dome of the Pantheon, one of the great temples of Ancient Rome. According to Taistealai, it's frigid inside.

This gives you an idea of the relationship and synergy between the various eras of Rome. I can't believe I just said "synergy." I've been in the corporate world too long.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
