Latera. Bridge Fountain

Bridge Fountain of Latera is also called Fontana Ducale, and was built in 1648 by Duke Pietro Farnese.

It is an octagonal pool in stone, with a central pyramid-shaped support which supports a basin from which the water comes.

On the eight sides of the pool are drawn emblems and an inscription in Latin dedicated to the duke and his son.
