Description

Start your adventure at the iconic Trevi Fountain, the largest Baroque fountain in Rome. Then descend 9 meters (30 feet) below the city streets to discover one of Rome's best-kept secrets: the Vicus Caprarius, known as the "City of Water."

Accompanied by an expert guide, you'll explore the remains of an ancient Roman domus — an imperial-era residence buried beneath the modern city. Watch history come to life as your guide explains how the water flowing from the Trevi Fountain still filters through the ancient masonry of this underground archaeological site, continuing to supply the same pipes and pools used by Rome's residents nearly 2,000 years ago.

Marvel at the remarkable finds uncovered during excavation: precious polychrome marble coverings, the famous head of Alessandro Helios, a treasure trove of 800 Roman coins, and the Spatheia — a rare African amphora used to transport oil across the empire.
