The fountain was originally installed in the 1920s as part of urban redevelopment projects in Rimini.
It is situated within the Parco Cervi, which occupies the historical dry bed of the Ausa river.
The sea-horses depicted are mythological creatures, common in Italian baroque-revival fountain iconography.
The Fountain of the Four Sea-Horses, known locally as Fontana dei Cavalli Marini, is a decorative monumental fountain located in the Parco Cervi of Rimini. It serves as a focal point of the public green space that follows the line of the ancient Ausa stream. The structure features four bronze-cast sea-horses arranged in a circular basin. The fountain was historically relocated and restored to maintain its role as a centerpiece of this urban park. It is surrounded by pedestrian pathways and manicured lawns, making it a prominent landmark in the city center.
Position yourself on the north side of the fountain to capture the bronze sea-horses with the park's lush greenery in the background.
Visit during the early morning to enjoy the quiet of the park before local activity peaks.
Combine your visit with a walk through the surrounding Parco Cervi for a full experience of the city's green belt.
Do not attempt to climb or sit on the fountain basin, as it is a protected historic monument.
