Fountains were a fixture in gardens of the ancient world. In Rome, water distributed from a castellum to many public fountains supplied the populace with drinking water. Early Christians placed fountains in atrium courtyards as symbols of purification, like Old St. Peter's in Rome. Courtyard fountains were later used in monasteries throughout western Europe and Byzantium. The late Middle Ages saw the development of decorative table fountains.
