Romans and later the Popes built their residences. We
reach the Trevi Fountain, the most majestic of the
Roman fountains. We will also see the Spanish Steps.
This square is named after the Palace, the seat of the first European Embassy established in the

Colosseum and Palatine Hill. Let the magic of ancient
Rome archaeological marvels cast its spell. Marc
Antony on the rostra, the stones of Caesar's cremation
site , assembled senators in the Curia, vestal virgins
meditating in the romantic surroundings of their home
and the eternal fire burning in Vesta's temple. Also see Rome’s most cherished shrine, Cicero's
