Stop 1

The Trevi Fountain is the most spectacular and largest of Rome's fountains, with a width of 20 meters and a height of 26 meters.
The origin of the fountain dates back to 19 BC, a time when it formed the termination of the aqueduct, the Aqua Virgo.
As an anecdote, the name of Trevi derives from Tre Vie, since the fountain was the meeting point of three streets.
The legend of the Trevi Fountain
Why do people throw coins into the fountain?
The legend was born in 1954 with the film "Three coins in the Trevi fountain" and states the following:
Throwing a coin into the fountain: you will return to Rome.
Throwing two coins into the fountain: you will find love with an Italian.
Throwing three coins into the fountain: you will marry the person you met.
For this to work, it is recommended to toss the coin with your right hand over your left shoulder.

Piazza di Spagna, with the Spanish Steps, is one of the most famous in Rome. It owes its name to the Palazzo di Spagna, seat of the embassy of the Iberian state to the Holy See.
The monumental staircase of 135 steps, commissioned by Cardinal Pierre Guérin de Tencin, was inaugurated by Pope Benedict XIII on the occasion of the Jubilee of 1725: it was built, thanks to French funding starting from 1721, to connect the Bourbon embassy of Spagna, to which the square owes its name, to the church of the Trinità dei Monti.
Admire the wonderful panorama from the balcony above the steps of the Spanish Steps
