Fontanone di Ponte Sisto, Baroque fountain in Trastevere, Rome, Italy.
The Fontanone di Ponte Sisto presents three water discharge points including a top basin, lion face spouts, and carved dragons of the Borghese family.
Constructed in the early 17th century near Collegio Ecclesiastico, the fountain was relocated to Piazza Trilussa during Rome's urban development in 1879.
The fountain marks the intersection of Via dei Pettinari and Via Giulia, serving as a meeting point for residents and visitors in the Trastevere district.
The structure receives water from the Acqua Paola system on Janiculum Hill through eight pipes that cross the Ponte Sisto bridge.
During the Napoleonic occupation of Rome, the papal symbol was removed from the fountain, and many original stones were used as landfill material.
