Fontana dei Leoni, Monumental fountain in Naples, Italy.
The Fontana dei Leoni stands within the Cortile dei Leoni, featuring water-spouting lions and marble basins that create a symmetrical display in the courtyard.
This fountain emerged during Naples' architectural development, marking a period when public water sources became integral elements of urban infrastructure and design.
The fountain's sculptural elements represent traditional Neapolitan craftsmanship, displaying the regional preference for incorporating animal figures into water features.
Visitors can reach the fountain through Naples' central district, with multiple bus stops and metro stations within walking distance of the location.
Each lion sculpture on the fountain bears distinct facial expressions, resulting from different artisans working on individual pieces of the installation.
