Alatri. Fountain of St Peter’s Gate (Fontana di Porta San Pietro)

In 1866 the aqueduct of Trovalle had arrived in the town and ended with a temporary fountain in Alatri.

Once again the architect Giuseppe Olivieri was commissioned to create a monumental fountain designed in a simple style the 'Fountain of St Peter’s Gate'.

A large rectangular bowl of white marble was built against a wall also made of white marble topped by a large carved coat of arms of the city of Alatri.
