Trevi Fountain - Behind the rich history, comes its myth and legends

I'm pretty much sure that anyone dreaming of visiting Rome would likely put this on top of their places to visit in the city.

Well, it was on my list too. 

As you emerge from the narrow cobble stone streets that open into Trevi Square you will be greeted by the breathtaking site of the Trevi Fountain, one of the most picturesque and captivating fountain in Rome.

The Trevi Fountain is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and elegance.

Altar of the Fatherland (Altare della Patria) – It’s more than just a white enormous monument

It's not hard to miss this monument, it was actually the first architecture I saw when I step foot in Rome. Of course, whether it’s on my itinerary or not I would still see it because K parked his car just beside it. When you want to explore Rome, it is best done by foot. So, we parked the car, put coins on the meter and started going through the Rome Guide book K gave me. First stop was, you should have guessed by now; the Altar of the Fatherland.
