Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) is a Baroque sculptural fountain by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the centre of Piazza Navona, Rome. A central travertine rock group supports four colossal marble river gods and a hieroglyph-covered obelisk topped with the Pamphili dove; water pours from multiple points into an elliptical basin at street level.

What Four Rivers Fountain looked like in its prime.
A low elliptical stone basin at street level holds green water; from its centre a jagged mass of pale travertine rises, pierced by cavities and carved foliage. Four larger-than-life white marble river gods recline across the rocks, each with an identifying attribute. From the rock mass the slender, hieroglyph-covered granite obelisk ascends on a square plinth and is capped by the Pamphili dove finial. Water spills and trickles from many carved mouths and seams into the basin.
