English term or phrase: as workplaces go
Hi! How are you? I have a problem with understanding the term: ''as workplaces go'' in the phrase:
As workplaces go, the Trevi Fountain takes some beating. Instead of toiling in a strip-lit office, Alessio de Filippo gets to go about his daily grind beside a Baroque masterpiece whose extravagant beauty pulls in thousands of visitors each day.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot
