Fontana del Mosè

  Fontana del Mosè, situated at the intersection of Via del Mosè and Via Isola della Libertà in Rome, is a remarkable fountain that dates back to the late 16th century. Commissioned by Pope Sixtus V, it was designed to supply fresh water to the city from the Aqua Felice aqueduct. The main feature of this intricate fountain is the striking statue of Moses, which stands at over 3 meters tall and dramatically depicts him striking a rock to provide water. Visitors can appreciate the detailed carvings and the surrounding stonework, making it a fascinating stop while exploring the bustling streets of Rome. The fountain is particularly inviting in warmer months, when tourists and locals alike gather to enjoy its historical significance and architectural beauty.
