Most modern-day garden fountains come in metal, although various other types exist.

During his reign (1397-1455) of the Roman Catholic Church, the erudite Pope Nicholas V authorized scores of translations of old Greek classics into Latin. He also undertook the embellishment of the city to turn it into the worthy seat of the Christian world. In 1453 he initiated the rebuilding of the Aqua Vergine, an historic Roman aqueduct which had brought clean drinking water into the city from many miles away. In addition, the ancient Roman practice of marking the arrival point of an aqueduct with an grandiose celebratory fountain, also known as a mostra, was restored by Nicholas V. At his behest, the architect Leon Battista Alberti undertook the construction of a wall fountain in the place where the magnificent Trevi Fountain now stands. The changes, as well as the extensions included in the repaired aqueduct, ultimately made it possible to supply the Trevi Fountain and the well-known baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Navona with the necessary water to function.

A small patio or a courtyard is a great place to situate your wall fountain when you seek out peace and quiet. Even a small space can contain a custom-made one. Whether it is stand alone or fitted, you will require a spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump. There are many different styles available on the market including traditional, contemporary, classical, or Asian.

With its basin placed on the ground, freestanding wall fountains, or floor fountains, are typically quite big in size.

You can choose to put your wall-mounted feature on an existing wall or build it into a new wall. The look of your landscape will seem more cohesive instead of disjointed when you install this kind of water feature.
