Fountain of the 99 Water Spouts

Amazing museum! The staff was pleasant trying to answer all our questions in English. You have all kinds of written details next to the máster pieces. What a treat!!!

It is one of the main landmarks of L'Aquila. This monument has the shape of a square with 99 little fountains around the border.
It is located at the beginning of Via Borgo Rivera, close to Porta Rivera.
In front of this fountain, there are the church of San Vito Alla Rivera, and the museum MUNDA.

Beautiful medieval fountain on a little square. It is a symbol of L'Aquila city. The sound of the water feels refreshing in the hot summer days.

a great piece of art totally restored. the building outside remind you of the 2009 earthquake

A delightful intimate restaurant run by a kind young couple. Generous

Very cool ancient fountain decorated with 99 faces likely of city residents at the time. An ancient Roman artifact in the heart of L'Aquila.

Very beautiful fountain with refreshing 7 degree water where you can cool off your feet!

A great place to visit and to keep always with you

A bit hard to get to with the local construction, but very interesting.

Really glad I got to see it, it's certainly interesting. As mentioned in other reviews though, it's a bit of pain to get to on foot from the centre. Some information on the history would be nice but I know L'Aquila has more important things to concentrate on right now.

Beautifully preserved water fountain, it is an icon of the city of L'Aquila. It is located right next to the Abruzzo MUNDA Museum, so you can visit that after visit this place. It is nice and spacious, and not may people visit it at the same time, so it is great for social distancing.

Wow, this place has a slightly eerie vibe, ya know with 99 heads staring at you while constantly vomiting water is a good starter pack. However its is pretty flippin cool. Each head is unique, the tiling is a th g of beauty and at night( for those who have decent cameras ) or at dusk it becomes a very nice picture spot. Be aware of the long tourist wagon thing, it comes around and suddenly there are 30 people at the place. They usually stay for about 15 to 30 mins. Love this place, although it's a bit eerie, there is also a romantic atmosphere. Over all very nice bit of history, very clean, would recommend.

Cute and quite part of the city with a lot of history. The fountain seems like a great place to relax and read a book.

One more peace of art. It seems like going back in time when we visit this part of the city I believe it is set at one of the lowest spot of the entire city.. Not to far from the train station.

Lovely fountain in the face of a devastated earthquake!

At one time long, long ago this was the center of so much activity in L'Aquila. The year was 1272 when this fontana was built. The 99 fountain heads (actually 93 with 6 spouts) are said to represent the 99 villages/castles that make/made up L'Aquila. Each has a different face/head. Each is a water spout. L'Aquila is known for their fresh mountain waters. The Fontana is also close to the Arno River. Those waters flow to Fontana Delle 99 Cannalle. When it was built people would get fresh drinking water. This was also designed for daily life activities, such as washing clothes. The large square allowed for many crafts and activities using the water. It's amazing this has survived several earthquakes over the centuries. The mid evil church San Vito is positioned across from the fountain square.

Beutifull fountaines ❤⛲

Amazing fountain. It's actually a square surrounded by spouts and a stone basin. To see.

Interesting historic stop.

A part of Aquila not damaged by the quake and of historical interest.
