Drinking Fountain in Tivoli

There weren't many drinking fountains in Tivoli like there were in Rome. There was however, one really cool one that I came across. There was an eagle on the top of it made out of different kinds of stones. There were two spouts that poured into two large bowls near the ground. The fountain looked extremely worn in an area of the town that was very well kept. I later found out from a local that the fountain had been there for many years. It had actually survived World War II. Much of the city had been destroyed in World War II, so it was a miracle that this structure is still intact. After filling up my water bottle with cool fresh water, I headed off to Hadrian's Villa.
