    The fountains of Saint Peter's Square are two twin fountains located in the homonymous square in Rome, included in the territory of Vatican City, and placed on the major axis of the elliptical square, in line with the Egyptian obelisk located on the center.

      The fountains in St. Peter's Square are two identical waterworks that stand on either side of the obelisk. They are designed to enhance the symmetry and beauty of the square. The first fountain was built in 1612 by Carlo Maderno, a famous Swiss architect who also designed the facade of St. Peter's Basilica. The second fountain was added in 1675 by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, a master of Baroque art who also created the basilica's colonnade and baldachin. The fountains spray water to a height of about 20 meters and have a diameter of 16 meters. They are decorated with marble shells, lion heads and angels.
