Ancient Roman engineering still powers the Trevi Fountain today—no electricity required. Over 2,000 gallons flow daily through hidden chambers. The Romans mastered water before we knew electricity existed.
Rome's 2,000-year-old hydraulic marvel recycles 126 liters every second through ancient aqueducts.
Hidden chambers and complex systems power this stunning display while tourists toss their wishes. The magnificent structure stands at the convergence of three ancient roads, explaining its name Tre Vie or "three ways." The fountain's elaborate water system was originally designed to supply water to thermal baths near the Pantheon.
