True story: A few minutes at the Trevi Fountain are not enough
The real experience begins when you step closer.
With ticketed access to the area in front of Trevi Fountain, you can finally slow down, admire every detail up close, and take your time for that perfect photo.
Then, join the tradition. Turn your back, use your right hand over your left shoulder, and toss a coin, the timeless gesture said to guarantee your return to Rome.
But Trevi is more than a ritual. Its waters still flow through Aqua Virgo, an ancient Roman aqueduct built in 19 BC and still in use today. Baroque sculpture, natural rock, and the figure of Oceanus come together in a living monument shaped by over 2,000 years of history.
Some stories deserve more than a quick stop.

About the Trevi Fountain
A masterpiece of architecture
The Trevi Fountain is not a random monument, but a perfectly designed Baroque stage, built against Palazzo Poli, the historic palace that forms its architectural backdrop. Every statue, every line, and every detail has a purpose, turning the palace façade into an essential part of the fountain’s design.
Developed over several centuries, Palazzo Poli is now home to the Central Institute for Graphics. The palace can be visited on special occasions, such as exhibitions, events, and concerts held in its historic rooms, including the impressive Dante Hall. At certain times, access to the panoramic terrace is also available, offering a rare and exclusive view of the Trevi Fountain.
Once you understand this connection, you’ll never see the Trevi Fountain the same way again.
Where the Trevi Fountain’s water comes from
The water you see at the Trevi Fountain is not symbolic. It is real, and it still flows through an ancient Roman aqueduct built in 19 BC, the Aqua Virgo, which continues to supply the fountain today.
Beneath the streets of the Trevi district lies Vicus Caprarius, also known as the “City of Water”, an underground archaeological site directly connected to the fountain’s water system. Here you can explore the remains of an imperial-era house, the ancient water reservoir of the aqueduct, and artifacts uncovered during excavations beneath modern Rome.
Visiting Vicus Caprarius means stepping below the surface and seeing how Rome’s water has shaped the city for over two thousand years. You are not just looking at history: you are watching it flow.
