Italy: Rome – Trevi Fountain
Trevi Fountain is one of the most popular spots in the city and is usually swarmed with people. This is where the tradition of throwing a coin into the fountain in order to return to the city began. The fountain was created for Pope Clement XII between 1732 and 1751, depicting the god Neptune surrounded by horses, tritons, and shells. Around 3000 euro is being thrown into the fountain with an annual haul of over 1.2 million euro.
