Fountain of the square, Travertine fountain in Market Square, Italy.
The Fountain of the Square features a central basin with water flowing through a lion's head spout made of travertine limestone.
The current fountain structure was built between 1746 and 1748 by Roman architect Costantino Fiaschetti, replacing an earlier 15th-century fountain.
The fountain includes decorative elements from the Barberini family, with four coats of arms representing Pope Urban VIII and cardinals Francesco and Antonio.
The water from this fountain has been continuously running for over 700 years, located 220 meters from Spoleto Cathedral.
The fountain's basin originated from a late-Roman sarcophagus that displays intricate carvings depicting a lion hunt scene.
