The Journey

1

Spanish Steps and Piazza di Spagna

Ascend the magnificent Spanish Steps, a monumental staircase linking the Piazza di Spagna to the Trinità dei Monti church. Completed in the 18th century, these steps are a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a vibrant meeting place. At the foot of the steps, admire the Barcaccia Fountain, a whimsical sculpture by Pietro Bernini, shaped like a sinking ship, commemorating the great flood of 1598. The Piazza di Spagna, named after the Spanish Embassy, is a hub of activity, surrounded by elegant shops and cafes, making it an essential stop for any visitor to Rome.

2

Trevi Fountain

Behold the Trevi Fountain, a Baroque masterpiece that captures the imagination with its dramatic sculptures and cascading waters. Designed by Nicola Salvi and completed in 1762, the fountain centers around Oceanus, the god of water, riding a chariot pulled by sea horses. Legend has it that tossing a coin into the fountain guarantees a return trip to Rome. Admire the statues of Abundance and Health flanking Oceanus, and immerse yourself in the enchanting ambiance of this iconic Roman landmark. While its water was once celebrated for its purity and taste, it's now nonpotable, but the fountain's beauty remains undiminished.

3

Pantheon

Step back in time at the Pantheon, the best-preserved building from ancient Rome, completed around 125 CE during Hadrian's reign. Marvel at its awe-inspiring dome, a testament to Roman engineering genius. The Pantheon offers a unique opportunity to experience the glory of ancient Rome, with its intact structure transporting you 2,000 years into the past. Explore its vast interior, and stand beneath the oculus, the building's only source of natural light, for an unforgettable experience.
