A monument of the Chafariz Piramide ( Fountain of Pyramid) in Praça XV (15 Square) in the historic heart of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The fountain was built in 1779, to bring in fresh water from the nearby hills into the city. Praça XV (15 Square) was home to the Brazilian Government from 1743 to 1889. The square was renamed Praca 15 de Novembro in honour of the date on which Brazil was proclaimed a Republic on 1889.
