This ornate and detailed fountain is located in the center of Piazza Navona and was designed by the legendary sculptor, Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Created for Pope Innocent X in 1651, the fountain is located in front of the Pamphili Palace, which served as the Pope's family residence. The fountain depicts the four gods of evil and in the center is a large Egyptian obelisk. Each of the four statues pays tribute to one of the most important rivers in the world – the Nile, the Danube, the Ganges and the Rio de la Plata.
