Rare fountain built in 1515

A wild man dressed in animal skins sits atop a waterfall of water jets. The basins are decorated with masks, Italianate grotesques and Renaissance-style garlands and candelabras, with Gothic-inspired flying buttresses supporting the structure.

The work is currently being restored.
