Fontana della Madonna, Baroque fountain in Piazza della Madonna, Loreto, Italy
The stone fountain features two central shafts supporting two basins, with the upper basin adorned with masks and heraldic decorations at its peak.
Carlo Maderno designed this monumental fountain in 1602, creating a central water feature for the square facing the Basilica della Santa Casa.
The fountain represents a period of architectural development in Loreto when religious and civic structures merged to form the city's central gathering space.
Visitors can access the fountain any time of day while exploring the square, which provides benches and space for resting near the water feature.
Water flows through four lion heads into an octagonal pond, creating a rhythmic sound that echoes across the marble-paved piazza throughout the day.
