Description
Villa d’Este in Tivoli Italy is famous for its fountains! There are at least a hundred fountains of all sizes and shapes throughout the manicured grounds, providing cooling and relaxing sounds throughout the grounds. This is part of the Cento Fontane (Hundred Fountains) occupying the wall of a long walkway. While the Cento Fontane can be considered a single fountain in design, it might be considered misnamed since there are nearly three hundred spouts fed by three parallel canals, one above the other. But who’s counting! The fountains were constructed between 1566 and 1577. The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains which are visited by hundreds every day. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
