The delightful Campo de' Fiori area is in south central Rome. It is home to the classic Campo de Fiori Square, which has hosted a produce market for over 140 years. Its name, Field of Flowers is rather ironic; this was the place for public executions, such as the killing during the Inquisition of Giordano Bruno in 1600. His statue overlooks the market. On a lighter note, this area buzzes at night. The French Embassy is housed in the Palazzo Farnese, a spectacular Renaissance palace. Close by is the Palazzo Spada which is open to the public. The Musei Capitolini is located in the Palazzo dei Conservatori and in the Palazzo Nuovo, two buildings on the east and west sides of Piazza del Campidoglio, both with facades designed by Michelangelo.
