It is believed to have been made around the 4th century BC. It is said that it was used as a cap of sewage during the Roman Empire but we don't know if it is true. In medieval times, when they interrogated someone politically, they put the criminals hand into the mouth of this statue and warned them that their hand would be cut off unless they tell the truth. Since then, it has been called "the mouth of truth." In the film , it was this place where Audrey Hepburn and her partner put their hands in it and they joked that they had lost their hands.

There are many fountains in Rome. Amongst them is the Trevi Fountain which is considered to be the most beautiful. The Trevi Fountain is decorated with intricate sculptures and it is one of the most spectacular fountains in the world. If you take a look closely, you will see Poseidon, the God of the sea located in the middle. It was made of one huge stone and designed in the Baroque style in the 18th century. Also, the Trevi Fountain is full of various coins from around the world. People throw their coins with their right hands over their left shoulder, with their back to the fountain. There is a myth that the first coin that you throw into the fountain will lead you into coming back to Rome. The second one means that you will meet someone who you will love forever, and the third one means that you will separate with your lover.

Pantheon

A pantheon is the temple of all gods. It is a round shaped Roman temple. There are elaborate sculptures of Catholic saints inside of Pantheon. The highlight of the visit is its ceiling as it is impressive to have a dome without a pole. For two thousand years, its dome without a pillar hasn't collapsed at all. Also, the sunlight mysteriously comes into the center of this dome and rain does not enter into of the dome. This is a very scientifically intelligent design. The rain either passes by the hole or spontaneously evaporates because of the pressure difference due to the rising of hot air from the pantheon.

Vatican is the smallest country in the world whose state religion is Catholic. It is located in Rome but is an independent country and there is a rigorous security check to enter Vatican. When the pope stays in Vatican, he meets the public on Wednesdays and speaks to the public on Sundays. When you go up to the Michelangelo Dome, you can look down the street of St. Peter's Square to the Castle of the Holy Angel. The square and streets are shaped like a key to heaven. The key is the symbol of Saint Peter.
