The fouain of Troy in Rome, Italy is being restored, but its officials have created a strange route for tourists to visit the historical site.
The baroque fouain of Troy has been reopened since the beginning of the week with a strange path for tourists to visit.
At the same time as the noisy restoration project of the Troy Fouain in Rome, the closure of this importa area to tourists brought criticism. Rome authorities have now created a special route to visit and take selfies with this fouain. A metal walkway has been created on the empty fouain on which 130 tourists can visit the historical fouain at the same time.
This strange path also has a special feature, and these days tourists can watch the amazing sculptures of the fouain from a much closer view than before.
Simultaneously with the construction of this path on the fouain, throwing coins io the empty fouain is also prohibited and has a fine of 50 euros. However, in order to preserve this old tradition, the authorities have created a temporary pond in fro of the fouain so that the lovers of this tradition do not miss the opportunity to throw coins io the water.

The mayor of Rome has announced that the cleaning and restoration project of this historical site will cost 330,000 dollars and will coinue uil the end of this year. Also, the mayor of Rome considered the sidewalk and the temporary pond to be a necessary step to find the exact balance between conservation and tourism and said:
The goal is to improve the visitor experience to create a unique experience in admiring the fouain and avoid crowding. That is why there is a limit on the number of people who can stay on this sidewalk. Also, after the maienance work is finished, there will be a limit on the number of people who can be in the fouain area.
Viewing the fouain from the walkway created there is an exceptional opportunity to see the sculptures up close, however, from this walkway you can also see remnas of millions of coins thrown io the fouain. Remains that include ringing around the coin on the surface of the fouain; Coins that are worth 1.5 million euros annually and are donated to charity, but have negative effects on this historical monume.
The authorities of the city of Rome are also trying to sell tickets to eer the fouain after the restoration of the fouain so that the crowd around the fouain can be corolled.
