There is a Secret Archaeological Site in Trevi Fountain, Rome
You can’t surprise a hiding archaeological site if you’re talking about Rome. Under the Trevi Fountain, there’s been hiding for decades. Vicus Caprarius(City of Water), is an ancient Roman apartment complex located beneath the city’s Trevi district. This archaeological site dates back to the first century. Okay, if you ask what is it special about it that the water that runs through it and there are still some ponds fill with water. Very interesting! So if you want to see that “special” site you can visit beneath the Trevi Fountain.

And most recently, Latin America’s first “eco-city” over the last decade. Authorities plan to take this title by reducing carbon emissions, boosting green transportation options, and achieving a more harmonious balance with the natural world.
