 Fontana delle Mammelle, Piazza Capo di Ferro One of Rome's quirkier fountains, the Fontana della Mammelle (Fountain of the Breasts), stands in a niche opposite the 16th century Palazzo Spada.
The fountain is made up of ancient sarcophagus and a lion's head, which is surmounted by a statue of a woman, her hands folded across her breasts out of which water spouts. Comments are closed.
