The Danube statue in the Fountain of the Rivers
The Danube statue in the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Rome.
The Fountain of the Four Rivers (or simply the Fountain of the Rivers) is one of the most famous monuments in Rome. Probably after the Trevi Fountain it is the most photographed.
In addition to the central obelisk, it is famous for the four statues representing the four rivers of the continents (known at the time): the Rio de la Plata, the Ganges, the Nile and the Danube.
In this post the photo is of the Danube, the longest river in Europe.
