Experience the splendor of this architectural wonder while learning about its historical importance and the fascinating tales it holds.

• Fontana delle Tartarughe - Continuing the tour, the next destination is the delightful Turtle Fountain, built between 1581 and 1588 under the design of Giacomo della Porta.
