Everyone knows the famous Trevi Fountain, less known is the underground passages that stretch beneath the Trevi district; an intricate maze of ancient vestiges dating back to Roman times that await to be rediscovered.
The underground archaeological areas of Vicus Caprarius – the ‘City of Water’, consists of the structures of an imperial domus, the castellum aquae of the Virgin Aqueduct and small museum filled with Roman artefacts. Follow the path of the ancient aqueduct of Aqua Virgo and learn how it worked and its history, including finding its remains hidden in the modern city. This includes spotting a secret stretch with a hidden door and the well preserved pat under a flashy shopping mall.
