The Trevi Fountain is the largest fountain in Rome. It is so magnificent that people who have seen it are left in awe with this beautiful fountain. The Fountain of Trevi is found at the end of the Aqua Virgo which was constructed in 19 BC.

The Fountain of Trevi was constructed in 1732 when Pope Clement XII instructed Nicola Salvi to create a magnificent and large fountain at the square of Trevi. After 30 years, this magnificent fountain designed and constructed by Salvi was finished.

There are different beliefs with this but they say that when you toss the coin over your shoulder while standing on your back over the fountain is the right way to do it. Also, tossing 3 coins in it will determine your love life as well.
