Cortile dei Leoni 🦁 for #fotovorschlag "Brunnen" / "Fountain"

Inspired by the Alhambra in Granada Spain and its Neo-Moorish/Islamic/North African/Al-Andalus style. This is the Rocchetta Mattei near Bologna - a place very much worth visiting! ✨

(There wasn't any flowing water while I was there but I am 95% sure it is a fountain 😂)

The photograph is of the stone fountain sitting at the centre of an open-air courtyard styled with Moorish architecture which is located in Rocchetta Mattei. The base of the fountain has lion statues supporting a big central basin inside an octagonal pool. Behind it in the courtyard are intricately carved arches supported by columns. There is also decorative tilework lining parts of the lower walls.
