Trevi Fountain 

The Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi region in Rome, Italy, and is the largest Baroque fountain in the city. The fountain at the junction of three roads (tre vie) marks the terminal point of Acqua Vergine and Acqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome.

Legend has it that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome. They say that it is lucky to throw three coins with one's right hand over one's left shoulder into the Trevi Fountain. Approximately 3,000 euros are thrown into the fountain each day. Roadside cafes and souvenir shops are all over the place.
