Dominating the center of Rome's Piazza Navona, the Fountain of the Four Rivers is a Baroque masterpiece designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in 1651 for Pope Innocent X. Surmounted by a soaring Roman obelisk from the reign of Domitian, the travertine basin features four colossal marble statues personifying major rivers of the four known continents: the Danube for Europe, the Nile for Africa, the Ganges for Asia, and the Río de la Plata.
