White marble fountain with a bronze statue of King Charles II at the top.

This white marble fountain was designed by Antonio Cafaro, a pupil of Cosimo Fanzago, in the second half of the 17th century (1669). The basin, which is very large, features eagles and lions, which are supposed to express the power and splendour of the royal authority. At the top, the large bronze statue represents King Charles II, the last ruler of the Habsburg dynasty of Spain. Note, across the street, the beautiful Renaissance facade of the Gravina Palace, in piperno enhanced with white marble. The building now houses the Faculty of Architecture.
