The Fontana del Moro, which is located at the south end of the Piazza Navona, was designed by Giacomo della Porta (1532-1602) in 1575. 

The fountain, however, had to wait almost a century for its centrepiece, which was added in 1653, the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680). 

In 1874 all of the original statues were moved to the Galleria Borghese and replaced by copies.
