The Trevi Fountain

#aprilblooms is one of the most famous fountains in the world and a major attraction in Rome, Italy. Designed by Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762, it stands at the junction of three roads (“tre vie”, hence the name Trevi) and marks the terminal point of the ancient Aqua Virgo aqueduct. Key features: • Baroque architecture: It features Neptune (god of the sea) in the center, flanked by statues representing Abundance and Salubrity. • Coin tradition: Tossing a coin over your left shoulder into the fountain is said to ensure your return to Rome. • Size: At 26.3 meters (86 ft) high and 49.15 meters (161.3 ft) wide, it’s the largest Baroque fountain in the city.#travel #naturalwonders #familytravel #staycation
