The Trevi Fountain and Quirinale

The Quirinal, Rome's highest hill, is synonymous with Italian politics. Its summit is crowned with the President's official residence and at its foot, hidden in the maze of narrow streets, is the Trevi Fountain, one of Rome's most iconic sights. 

The Quirinal

The Quirinal Hill is the highest of Rome’s seven classical hills. On its summit stands the official residence of the Italian president. In the vicinity of the imposing palace is a cluster of Baroque masterpieces in the shape of a church by Bernini, one by his arch-rival Borromini, four Baroque fountains and the Palazzo Barberini, which houses a fine collection of art.

The Quirinal square is somewhat austere but the labyrinth of surrounding streets is well worth exploring.

At the foot of the hill, hidden amongst the narrow streets, is one of Rome’s most flamboyant Baroque monuments – the iconic Trevi Fountain.
