Fountains...

For the Palio there is a horse and rider from each Siena district, or contrada. There are 17 and each contrada has a fountain of it's mascot. I'm trying to take a picture of each fountain, I'll post the pictures here...

Apparently the unicorn's rival is the owl... not the dragon... weird.
