Piazza Mattei is a charming, lesser-known square located in the heart of Rome’s Jewish Ghetto district. The square is most famous for being home to the Turtle Fountain (Fontana delle Tartarughe), an exquisite 16th-century fountain adorned with bronze turtles designed by the sculptor Giacomo della Porta. The fountain, with its playful and intricate design, is one of Rome's hidden gems.
