The monumental fountain was built between 1585 and 1589 in Piazza San Bernardo, in the Castro Pretorio district, after a design by Domenico Fontana, the favorite architect of Sixtus V (born Felice Peretti) and author of many of the construction companies with which that the "hard pope" renewed the face of the city at the end of the 16th century.

The large fountain on the corner is the Fontana dell Acqua Felice or the Moses Fountain. The
figure is supposed to represent Moses and was previously not recognizable because of the many
exhaust fumes, the restoration has brought the fountain back to life. On that same square
you should definitely visit the church of Santa Maria Della Vittoria, simply beautiful.
