The Trevi Fountain, Rome

The Trevi Fountain is a real spectacle of mythical sea creatures and cascades of splashing water. This fountain is one of the masterpieces of the Roman Baroque. The Trevi Fountain is located in the center of Rome. Its name is "Trevi" because it connects three streets (tre vie). It was built in 1762 according to a sketch of Bernini by Niccolo Salvi. The sculptures in the fountain are by Pietro Bracci. In the center of the fountain is the figure of the god Neptune, and on both sides there is a female figure, symbols of Abundance and Health. It is believed that if a person throws a coin into it, one day he will return to this city. Next to the Trevi Fountain is the church of St. Vincent and St. Anastasius, which at the request of Pope John Paul II was given for use by the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.
