Description
Eagle Fountain, located in the Vatican Gardens, was built to commemorate the arrival of water at the Vatican from the Acqua Paola. From 1500’s to present day, the structure of the Vatican Gardens hasn’t changed that much. However, it’s worth mentioning that in 1600’s Pope Paul V had the ancient Trajan Aqueduct renovated. Thanks to these works, it was possible to build some fountains inside the Vatican Gardens (the water comes from Bracciano Lake) such as the "Fountain of the Eagle and pond of the gardens of Vatican City" and the "Fontana della Galea" or the "Galea Fountain", located at the left of the Bramante Staircase and named after the great, vessel in the middle of the basin.
