The circus maximus once seated 250,000 spectators for chariot races around 11 BC. While the oval shape of Piazza Navona, which houses the magnificent Four River Fountain, is a clue to its Stadium of Domitian heritage from 86 AD were gladiators fought and athletes competed.

Ancient legend suggests that this was the site of the lost city of Atlantis - when the volcano erupted the centre of this island disappeared in to the sea leaving the remnant known as Santorini.
