Rome. Italy. View of the central fountain at the Piazza della Rotonda which is located in front of the Pantheon. It is bustling rectangular square, lined with open-air cafes and restaurants and in its centre is a refreshing marble fountain built by sculptor Giacomo della porta (commissioned by Pope Gregorius XIII) in 1575 with an ancient Egyptian obelisk from the Temple of Isis which was originally erected in Heliopolis by Rameses II.
