The rich history and culture of Rome, both past and old can be told through the many fountains found around the city. They were mainly used to convey and showcase the power and wealth of many Roman patrons with powerful influence and control over the city's cultural heritage.
The fountains also served as a way of bringing water into the city. To this day much of the fountain's waters in Rome is drinkable with some people considering the water to have some sort of restorative
properties.
So next time you are in Rome, don't just head for the typical spots like the Colosseum and Trevi but wonder around the streets and watch the drama unfold before you with these beautifully sculptured fountains that tell tales of noble families, papacy and the legacy of the city.
Seeing them requires very little effort as there are so many of them to see and what's even nicer about this is that its FREE!!!
