Known as the Lower Cascade because it is located down the slope from the Grand Cascade in the gardens of the Belvedere Palace. The fountain has an elaborate sculpture of two naked men and two naked women holding up a basin to catch the water that spews out of the mouth of a dragon on a wall. There are also four othr statuary groups above the fountain. A placard at the site makes reference to a Turkish Ambassador visiting the fountain in 1719...so, the fountain is at least over 295 years old.
