About
Fontana del Tritone—an iconic Baroque fountain located in Rome’s Piazza Barberini—is a celebrated work by sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Erected between 1642 and 1643 for Pope Urban VIII, the fountain features a larger‑than‑life Triton atop a shell, surrounded by dolphins that represent the Barberini family emblem. Situated near the Palazzo Barberini, it continues to attract visitors with its dramatic sculpture and the soothing sound of water. As a civic monument, it is freely accessible to the public, making it one of Rome’s most photographed attractions.
