These historic water fountains were built to be functional, often situated along reservoirs, creeks and waterways to furnish drinking water. Fountains with embellished Gods, mythological monsters, and creatures began to appear in Rome in about 6 B.C., made from natural stone and bronze. The remarkable aqueducts of Rome provided water to the eye-catching public fountains, many of which you can travel to today.
