Republica & Termini Station
 Like
so many other locations in Rome where one historical era sits right
on top of another, Piazza della Repubblica covers exactly the
exedra/theater of the ancient Baths of Diocletian. At the end of the
16th century, Pope Sixtus V was going to turn this exedra into an
artificial lake to provide water for a navigable canal that he
wanted to build between his villa and today's Piazza San Bernardo.
However, this plan was never realized.
At the end of the 19th Century, today's Piazza della Republica was
constructed here and it welcomes travelers arriving in Rome at the
Stazione Termini.
The Fountain of the Naiads sits in the center. Naiads are the nymphs
who protect rivers, lakes, oceans and the underground. Although
finished in 1900, the fountain was not turned on until a year later
because the female statues were considered by many people too
provocative for the times.
