Trevi Fountain

Our next stop will be the renowned Trevi Fountain, arguably the most famous fountain in the world. Inaugurated in 1762, it is intricately linked to the Acqua Vergine aqueduct, which has supplied water to Rome for centuries. Commissioned by Pope Clement XII, a competition was held to design the fountain, with architect Nicola Salvi emerging as the winner. The Trevi Fountain is a stunning masterpiece, celebrated not only for its grand Baroque style but also for the tradition of tossing coins into its waters to ensure a return to Rome.
