Trevi Fountain Rome: 40-Min Underground Domus Guided Tour

About this experience

Trevi Fountain Underground Tour While crowds gather above at Rome's most famous fountain, you can explore a hidden archaeological world just nine metres below. This guided tour of the Vicus Caprarius takes you beneath the Trevi Fountain to discover ancient Roman ruins, including an imperial Domus with original mosaic floors and the still-functioning aqueduct that supplies water to the fountain above. Your guide reveals how two-thousand-year-old Roman engineering continues to power the fountain today, sharing the stories behind the mythological carvings and the traditions that make the Trevi Fountain a cornerstone of Rome's cultural heritage. The underground site features preserved masonry, ancient artifacts recovered during excavations, and a unique perspective on one of the world's most photographed landmarks.
