Itinerary

1. 1

   Spanish Steps

   25min

   Discover the beauty of the most iconic square of the city of Rome

2. 2

   Vicus Caprarius – the City of Water

   35min

   The fact that the Virgin aqueduct has never been completely ruined is testified, among other things, by the two-thousand-year-old stratification of buildings in the Trivium area (which was the original name of the area where the Trevi Fountain stands today). At the end of the 1990s, excavation works for renovation and consolidation in a group of buildings near the fountain led to the discovery of a vast and complex archaeological area, now reorganized and open to visitors under the title "The City of Water".

3. 3

   Trevi Fountain

   20min

   The Trevi Fountain is the largest of the famous fountains in Rome. Built on the façade of Palazzo Poli by Nicola Salvi, the competition held by Pope Clement XII in 1731 was initially won by the French sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam but later the task passed to Salvi: it is said that the change was due to the fact that the pontiff did not want to entrust the work to a foreigner, instead another version explains that Adam had to return to France .
