Fontana Di Trevi

  • When in Rome, do pay a visit to Fontana Di Trevi.
    This beautiful fountain is situated at the end of
    Aqua Virgo, and was constructed in 19 BC by
    Emperor Augustuss son-in-law, Agrippa. One
    distinctive feature about the fountain is its
    size, as it is 65 feet wide and 85 feet high, and
    is the biggest fountain in the city.Trevis
    design has been changed several times since it
    was initially built, and the fountain is shaped
    like a triumphant arch, which occupies more than
    half the square. The main figure is Neptune,
    which is located right in the center and is the
    god of the sea. He is seen riding a chariot that
    is being pulled by two sea horses. On the left
    side of the figure, there is a statue which
    represents Abundance, whereas the statue on the
    right represents Salubrity.

Colosseum

  • It wont be wrong to say that the Colosseum is
    one of the most important buildings of Rome.
    Earlier on, the building was known as the Flavian
    Amphitheater, which was built on an artificial
    lake from 72 AD to 80 AD. The building was made
    as a place where the Roman emperors could see the
    gladiators staging death battles with each other
    and hunting ferocious animals.The Colosseum was
    also used as an arena to entertain the people
    with free games, as the games were considered a
    sign of prestige and wealth. The emperors made
    sure that the public was entertained because it
    increased their popularity. It is said that these
    games were sometimes held for several days, and
    the rulers also took part in it.

Altare della Patria (Monument Of Vittorio
Emanuele II)

  • Altare della Patria (Monument Of Vittorio
    Emanuele II) is one of the many beautiful
    monuments in Rome, one whose construction is
    quite recent compared to most other monuments
    though. Completed in 1925, it was made to in
    honor of Victor Emanuel, as the name suggests,
    the first person to become king of the newly
    unified Italy. It is a popular attraction, and it
    stands out from its surroundings. This is because
    of the special marble used to make the monument,
    which is very white in color, giving the monument
    a contrast from the surrounding buildings, which
    are mostly brown.
