Fonte Gaia

Close-up of the Gaia fountain.

Water first bubbled forth from the Fonte Gaia in the upper part of the Campo in 1346. The fountain's panels are reproductions; the severely weathered originals, sculpted by Jacopo della Quercia in the early 15th century, are on display in the Spedale di Santa Maria della Scala.
