Fontana della Sirena, 19th century fountain in Piazza Sannazaro, Naples, Italy
The Fountain of the Siren features a large elliptical basin with a central rock formation decorated with aquatic plants and four symbolic animals.
The sculptor Onofrio Buccini created this fountain in 1869 for the railway station gardens before its relocation to Piazza Sannazaro in 1924.
The statue of Parthenope, holding a lyre in her right arm, stands at the top of the fountain representing the founding myth of Naples.
The fountain sits in a public square near the Mergellina district, surrounded by restaurants and accessible through nearby public transportation stations.
Four distinct animals - a horse, a lion, a dolphin, and a turtle - rest on the central rock formation, each representing different aspects of Neapolitan traditions.
