The Trevi Fountain forms an impressive facade to the Palazzo Poli. The fountain is a short walk from the Colosseum, so you can easily see the sunset from the arena before heading down the street. The fountain is great to visit at night because the entire facade of the building is lit by spotlights. The Trevi Fountain grosses more coins from people casting wishes than any other fountain in the world (or so I was told by one of the people on the cleaning crew).
"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints." -- Robert Louis Stevenson
