Robba Fountain, Baroque fountain at Mestni trg square, Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The Robba Fountain displays three male figures with jugs, representing the gods of rivers Ljubljanica, Sava, and Krka, surrounded by a shell-shaped pool.

Francesco Robba completed this monumental fountain in 1751, drawing inspiration from Filippo Barigioni's Fontana del Pantheon at Piazza della Rotonda in Rome.

The three river gods on the fountain embody the territorial divisions of Upper, Lower, and Inner Carniola, while the steps represent Carniolan mountains.

The original fountain structure now resides in the National Gallery of Slovenia, with a precise replica standing at Town Square near Ljubljana Town Hall.

The fountain combines three types of stone: Carrara marble for sculptures, Lesno Brdo marble for the obelisk, and Podpeč limestone for the water pool.
