Tips

Hiking

At the top of the fountain stands the city's patron saint, Peter, who gave the fountain its name.
The four cardinal virtues are grouped over a hexagonal basin, namely Justitia - justice, with sword and scales, Fortitudo - strength, with a broken column, Temperantia - moderation, with wine and water, and Sapientia - wisdom, with mirror and Line.

Hiking

One should look closely. Behind the actual characters there are funny monkeys that do all kinds of "bad" things. Anyone who reads the story or takes a guided tour has a lot to laugh about and be amazed at. Well preserved and definitely worth a try.

Unfortunately it is not that easy to look at the fountain in peace. Either it is a market and it is 'built up' by stalls or the tourists crowd around it.
