Fountain of Monteoliveto, Naples, Baroque fountain in central Naples, Italy.
The Fountain of Monteoliveto features a marble triangular basin decorated with masks, sea creatures, and three water-spouting lion sculptures.
Built in 1668 by Antonio Cafaro, the fountain received its bronze statue of Charles II of Spain in 1699 through commission by viceroy Pedro Antonio de Aragón.
The fountain marks the intersection of historical landmarks, including the Sant'Anna dei Lombardi church and the Renaissance palace of Orsini di Gravina.
Located at the bottom of Via Monteoliveto, the fountain stands near the Faculty of Architecture and connects to multiple public transportation routes.
Three bronze eagles support a corbel beneath the statue of Charles II, the last Hapsburg king of Spain, creating a distinctive architectural composition.
