SAILORS' FOUNTAIN

FONTANA DEI NAVIGATORI
1704 Alessandro Specchi (1668/1729)
Reassembled partially here in 1930 after the construction of the banks of the Tiber at the end of 1800
It was originally part of the structure of the Porto of Ripetta (Little shore port) and the lantern was used as a beacon for sailors
