Fontana Maggiore and Piazza IV Novembre

The 13th-century Maggiore Fountain is located in the center of Perugia's attractive main square, Piazza de la November, and is one of the most beautiful fountains of the period, with its high-reliefs by the stone sculptors Nicola and Giovanni Pisano. Its multi-sided basins are of white and pink stone, and above it are a trio of bronze nymphs, in which there is a jar from which water flows. This square has always been the political and social center of the community.
