It is on this place that was raised, in 1810, a fountain decorated with one obelisk, set up for the birth of king de Rome.(architecte Penchaud). It was used by the cavalry, which camped with the surroundings, in times of war.
It was transported to the round not of Mazargue, hundred years later, to leave the place has the current Cantini fountain. Indeed, November 12, 1911 Mister Maire of Marseilles, Mr. Cadenat, inaugurated this splendid fountain offered by the industrialist (monumental mason) and patron, Jules Cantini.
