Description:
В 1719 году австрийский император Карл VI предоставил Триесту «Порто-франко» — статус свободного портового города. Это важное событие было увековечено сначала статуей императора (1728), а потом и специальным фонтаном (1754). Скульптурная композиция фонтана символизирует 4 известных на тот момент континента: европейца в тоге с лошадью изображает Европу, азиат с верблюдом — Азию, индеец с крокодилом — Америку и мавр со львом — Африку.
