    Tips

    Fourteenth-century fountain: in Piazza del Popolo, it has a similar appearance to medieval monumental fountains in the Viterbo area, and was originally used by the masters of the shops that stood close to the walls. The fountain is part of a complex which also incorporates a wall with a votive aedicule, decorated with a Renaissance fresco of the Madonna and Child with angels. The fountain has a circular base basin, with three-room arches that divide the space, in the center of which stands a circular column with plant and human figures, from whose mouths come the spouts (14 masks in all), which ends with an octagonal lantern with Gothic windows, with a conical final cusp.
