Fontana di Trevi

The Fontana di Trevi doesn’t feel like any fountain I had seen before.  I’m used to the ones in malls and parks and even though Buckingham Fountain in Chicago and Bethesda Fountain in New York City are both pretty, they are nothing compared to the Fontana di Trevi.

As I followed the signs to get to the Fontana di Trevi I never expected to see and feel what I was about to. The sounds of the street and even the people around me began to get drowned out by the sound of rushing water.  I followed the sounds of water and when I took in the fountain for the very first time I couldn’t breathe.  It is the most breathtaking fountain I had ever seen.  It towers above you in such splendor that any photo I’ve taken doesn’t do it justice.  To hear the water pouring over it, I feel like I was at a great waterfall.  The sculpture of the fountain is like nothing I had seen before.

Definitely see if during the day first then go back and see it at night. Just like the Eiffel Tower if you do night and then day it will feel like it’s lost some of it’s splendor.
