Tartarughe Fountain in Rome: photos, reviews

About

Fontana delle Tartarughe, located in Piazza Mattei in Rome's Jewish Quarter, is an enchanting blend of whimsy and history. Designed by Giacomo della Porta between 1581-88 and later enhanced by Bernini's addition of playful turtles in 1658, this exquisite fountain captivates visitors with its intricate sculptures. Four youthful figures stand atop dolphins, with water gracefully spouting from the dolphins and open shells. This Renaissance masterpiece, considered a gem of the era, is not just for show-historically, it provided essential water to the local neighborhood. With an impressive 4.5-star rating on Google, it's a delightful spot for families and pet owners to enjoy.
