Visiting And Staying Near The Trevi Fountain

Posted in Travel  by cumry1 on June 30th, 2010

Standing 25.9 meters high and 19.8 meters wide, the Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome and also by far the most spectacular. The location (41.900875, 12.483167) originally marked the terminal point of an ancient aqueduct, Aqua Virgo, that supplied water to Ancient Rome. There was a fountain in the area for a long time, as it was a Roman custom to build a fountain at the terminus of an aqueduct.

However, in 1629, the then pope, Pope Urban VIII, decided that the fountain at that time was not ornate enough for such a location and solicited Gian Lorenzo Bernini, one of Italy’s best loved designer, to design a more impressive and dramatic fountain on the site. Unfortunately shortly afterwards, the pope died and the project was scrapped for almost 100 years until 1730, when Pope Clement XII held a competition for a new design.

In the end, the competition was won by Nicola Salvi and work on the fountain was started in 1732. The new design still embellished several of Bernini’s original ideas and plans. Eleven years after Salvi’s death, the beautiful fountain was finally completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762. Nowadays it is one of Rome’s most famous and popular monuments and the old adage goes that to for a visitor to be assured a return visit to Rome, he or she should throw a coin into the fountain.

As the Trevi Fountain is located deep in the heart of Ancient Rome, this is also a privileged and ideal location to be based for your stay in the city. Most of the famous sights and attractions will literally be on your doorstep, as outlined in the list below:
