While the Trevi Fountain is undoubtedly one of the most iconic landmarks of Rome, few might know about the rich history that goes hidden beneath the area of the Trevi district. With structures that go all the way back to 64 AD, this fascinating site is an absolute gem to be discovered.

Just a stone’s throw away from the Trevi Fountain and nine meter’s below the surface, the Vicus Caprarius, also known as “The City of Water”, awaits to be visited. With the remains of a luxurious mansion house out of the mid-4th century, medieval settlements that date back to between the 12th and 13th centuries, and the castellum aquae, a water reservoir where the water still flows to this day, this site represents a remarkable testimony of Rome’s history through the ages.
