Fontana di Piazza della Rotonda

​The angle of this shot hides the Pantheon in the Piazza della Rotunda in Rome.  The Pantheon Fountain was commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII. The fountain assumed its current appearance in 1711. Filippo Barigioni was given the tedious task of reconstruction of the fountain. It was fully restored by the end of the past century and some of the original parts, masks that once decorated the top of the fountain, can be viewed in the Rome Museum.

An obelisk is standing on top of the cliff on a pedestal in honor of the Egyptian goddesses Isis and Serapis.
