The fountain was constructed around a water theme in the early 1900’s when Rome felt the original was lacking in design. Four statues are situated around the fountain representing the ocean, lakes, streams and rivers.

Back in 302 A.D., near the location of the piazza, the well known Docletian’s baths were built to hold up to three thousand Romans and before the Piazza della Repubblica was constructed, the area was a gathering place for people selling meat. After the final world wars, the Piazza della Repubblica finally donned its current name even though it has been around since the 300s.
