Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain

This is Trevi Fountain. Legend says that if you throw a coin into Trevi fountain, you will one day return to Rome. Approximately 3000 euro is thrown into the fountain each day - they money is used for charity to help Rome's poor. The fountain was made as a monument at the end of a main aqueduct in Rome. It is very beautiful.


I don't really know much about the Spanish steps. They were absolutely packed when we got there, and we went at night! Many people were drinking on the steps (apparently its legal to drink in the street in Italy). Apparently, a Spanish ambassador used to live at the top of the steps, and the story is that if men got caught loitering on the steps, they were forced the join the Spanish army.
