Location: Fontana di Trevi

Famous the world over thanks to Federico Fellini’s film “La dolce vita”, it was built in 1735 in the time of the papacy of Clement XII.
The discovery of the spring, which provides the water for the fountain, is described by the sculptures of the monument which is built into the facade of a building.
In the middle there is the statue of the Ocean, shown on a shell shaped coach drawn by winged horses. Among the other sculptures we can find tritons and both mythological and real sea animals. The square surrounding the fountain is packed daily with visitors who, as legend has it, must throw a coin into the fountain if they want to come back to the Eternal City.
