Fontana Maggiore izgrađena je između 1278.i 1280. godine Nicola i Giovanni Pisano, kako bi proslavili završetak novog akvadukta. Projekt je zbog FRA Bevignate, dok je hidraulični deo izveo Boninsegna iz Venecije.
Fontana prima vodu iz monte Pacciana više od 700 godina.
Sastoji se od dva preklapajuća koncentrična bazena, ukrašena sa 50 bareljefa i 24 statue. Donji sliv ima bareljef: scene iz agrarne tradicije, mjeseci u godini sa horoskopskim znakovima, liberalnom umjetnošću, Biblijom i istorijom Rima. Gornji sliv sastoji se od dvadeset i četiri ploče odvojene statuama koje predstavljaju alegorijske, svete i istorijske ličnosti.
Slivove nadvija bronzani pehar okrunjen grupom od tri nimfe, predstavlja tri teološke vrline (Vjera, Nada, dobročinstvo).
