Perugia - Fontana Maggiore
The Fontana Maggiore is located on the "Piazza IV Novembre" (ex "Piazza Grande") between the cathedral (background) and the Palazzo dei Priori (my POV). It was created between 1277 and 1278 by the famous sculptors Nicola Pisano and his son Giovanni Pisano, known for their works in Pisa and Siena.
Once the place was occupied by the bishop´s citadel. After the demolition of the citadel, the fountain got erected here as a symbol of the free city. The Fontana Maggiore is considered one of the finest still existing medieval fountains.
The fountain was the end of an aqueduct engineered by Benedictine monk Fra Bevignate. The water - since centuries - serves the thirsty pigeons, but the birds have to be skilful.
