    It is probably the symbol of Perugia, in the center of one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, so full of precious monuments, which overlooks Corso Vannucci, the main street of the historic centre. Must see absolutely!

      Dating from the end of the 13th century, it is one of the important monuments of the historic center of Perugia. It is one of the first public fountains designed as a monumental element of street furniture and the first to be equipped with such a decorative program. It was erected to commemorate the arrival of water on the acropolis of the city thanks to the new aqueduct which conveyed to the center of Perugia, the waters coming from Mount Pacciano, located a few kilometers away.
