Conference tour....

Soon after I had scribbled down notes about the food tour Tim arrived back at the hotel and we booked it across the city to attend at tour organized by the conference. We were to see the Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) and the City of Water underground ruins.

We met up with our tour group and guide who escorted around the corner from the fountain so we could see the City of Water ruins first. Venturing into the building at street level we descended a stairway to see preserved ruins under the existing building. Apparently, in 1999, when the Sala Cinema Alberto Sordi was being construction began they found ruins of a 4th century Roman mansion.

The Fontana di Trevi was swarming with people but lovely to see in the evening light. It marks the spot where three roads (tres vie) meet.
