Fontana dei delfini, Heritage fountain in Piazza San Martino, Cerreto Sannita, Italy.

The limestone and lava stone fountain features four water-spouting dolphins arranged around a central decorative pine cone structure in the town square.

Originally located in Naples' Piazza Mercato until 1781, the fountain was purchased by Cerreto Sannita's administration in 1812 and reconstructed with original pieces.

The fountain maintains a connection between Naples and Cerreto Sannita through its architectural elements and placement near the Collegiate Church of San Martino.

The fountain stands in the southern section of Piazza San Martino, providing a central meeting point for residents and visitors exploring the historic center.

Local mason Biagio Ciccarelli integrated the original Neapolitan lava stone dolphins with new limestone elements during the fountain's reconstruction in 1813.
