    In 1902 the harbor was demolished to widen and strengthen the banks of the Tiber. The fountain was moved to its current location, in Piazza del Porto di Ripetta, where it can still be seen today. The fountain is also called Fontana del Navigatore or Fontana dei Navigatori, in tribute to the sailors who used the port.

    The Fontana del porto di Ripetta is a fountain in Rome, which was originally part of a harbor on the Tiber River.

The fountain consists of an oval basin with a rocky group in the center, on which are placed two dolphins, a shell, a lantern and the papal coat of arms. The fountain served as a watering hole for the animals that transported the goods from the port.
