Trevi Fountain

Rome’s grandest goodbye, one coin at a time

Forged from white travertine stone. Shadowed by the striking Palazzo Poli. The Trevi Fountain is one of Rome’s most recognisable landmarks. Stand before its baroque form and soak in the magic.

The water snakes around the sculpted figures as if it’s a living creature. Clear tendrils weave through the fountain’s curves. Statues of Oceanus (the Titan god of the sea), Abundance and Salubrity stand tall, overlooking you as you marvel at their frozen elegance.

Want the full experience? Face away from the fountain. Using your right hand, toss a coin over your left shoulder into the water. It's tradition.

One last thing: make sure to visit at night to see this monument lit up against the dark sky.
