It is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. The fountain has appeared in several notable films, including Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita. The fountain is at the junction of three roads and marks the point of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, one of the aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. In 19 BC, supposedly with the help of a virgin, Roman technicians located a source of pure water some 13 km (8.1 mi) from the city. This Aqua Virgo led the water into the Baths of Agrippa. It served Rome for more than 400 years.

Rome's semi-secret peephole with a view of Rome is perfectly contained in the keyhole of a non-descript looking door on the Aventine Hill, placing the dome of St. Peter's right in the center. Just look for the strange ling infront of a closed door and wait for your chance to look through the keyhole that lines up perfectly with the garden, centered on the Vatican in the distance.

The superstitious and untruthful face a severe fate between the jaws of the Bocca della Verità, or Mouth of Fate, an ancient carving which is said to bite the hands off of liars. The original purpose of the large medallion has been theorized as everything from a ceremonial well cover, to a piece of fountain decoration, to a manhole cover. In recent times it has been used as a whimsical lie detector in a number of movies and video games, most famously in the 1953 romance, Roman Holiday, in which the carving was a major plot device.

In Rome there are thousands of churches, old buildings, villas, and each one has an incredibly ornate, decorative design be it churches with images of Jesus Christ and the saints or famous paintings of the Renaissance. But perhaps the most unusual, hilarious, and quirky building is Zuccari Palace, AKA The Monster House. This palace was built by the famous Baroque artist Federico Zuccari in 1590 as a studio for himself and his children. This Monster House is called such because of the front facade of the building which features large monster faces with their mouths gaping wide, in the process of swallowing the doors and windows.

While this "magic door" is famous to Romans, it is barely noticed by tourists visiting Rome. But the remains of an old villa reveal a Magic or Alchemist Door, a portal into the real and secretive world of 1600s alchemy. It is the only remaining of five gate doors to the Marquis Palombara's villa. According to legend, the Marquis met an alchemist at a dinner party who told him he could use a certain herb to turn metals to gold. In the morning the alchemist (said to be Giuseppe Francesco Borri, a sort of alchemical zelig) was gone but had left behind some gold flakes, evidence apparently of his successful transformations, and an indecipherable sheet, the "recipe" for the transformation. Because the Marquis was unable to read it he inscribed the recipe on his doors in the hope that someone who could understand it would see it and come knocking.

The Jesuit church of Saint Ignazio was supposed to have a glorious dome, but when the money ran out in 1642, the plans were scrapped. Instead of foregoing the dome entirely, painter and Jesuit brother Andrea Pozzo proposed that he paint a life-sized illusion of a dome that would fool the eyes of visitors (as long as they looked up from the proper angle). His masterpiece still fools the eye today. Painted between 1685 and 1694, it is a remarkable piece of perspective work.
