THE 99 SPOUT FOUNTAIN
The 99 Spout Fountain, called “Of the Coast”, is to be found very near the medieval town walls. At first two sides were built by Governor Lucchesino Aleta, to remember the castles, which contributed to the birth of the city.
In 1528 the third side was built and designed by Alessandro Ciccorone. The wall which surrounds the fountain, built with white and pink stone, is from XV century.
The particular characteristic of this fountain is that the origin of the water that gushes out of the spouts is still unknown. |
