Closeup of the square of the fountain of the 99 spouts located in the historic center of L'Aquila, in Abruzzo, Italy.

L'Aquila's erroneously named "fountain of 99 spouts" (there are actually only 93 of them) was one of the few monuments to quickly reopen after the earthquake. It was formerly a communal laundry site, but is now a place for picnic lunches and wedding photos.
