This elegant square is primarily known for its namesake palace, which now houses the French embassy. The palace contains several valuable art works, but unfortunately it is closed to the public. It is interesting to visit the square nonetheless, because the palace's fascinating facade is worth seeing. It carries the signature of many architectural talents, including artists of such renown as Antonio da Sagallo, Giacomo della Porta and Michelangelo. The square's centrepiece, consisting of two, gigantic, twin fountains, is another eye-catching element. The fountains' design, which features a pair of granite bathtubs, is particularly unusual. The pieces have their own peculiar story - they were part of the Termes di Caracalla before being moved to the Piazza Farnese.
