Archibald Fountain, Australia

From series “The Most Spectacular Fountains in the World”
Year: 1932.

The unique fountain is available in Australia. In Sydney is the famous Archibald Fountain. This fountain was opened in 1932 and is considered the most famous in Australia. Its main characteristic is the symbolic sculpture composition. In the middle of the composition are the statues of three ancient gods - Apollos, Theseus and Diana. The composition symbolizes the relationship between Australia and France, which were formed during the First World War.

Archibald Fountain, Australia The fountain is located in the beautiful Hide Park, which is also one of Australia's distinctive sights. The Fountain was named to honor the outstanding politician and journalist John Archibald, whom the inhabitants of Australia now regard as the national hero. The outstanding journalist was interested in French culture and, after one of the trips to France, chose the French pseudonym.

Since recently, the grandiose bronze sculpture composition is not the only special feature of the fountain. To the well was connected the onlinerundfunk, whereby one can enjoy the harmonious water flow and the beautiful music at the same time. At dawn, the fountain, adorned with the beautiful illumination, looks enchanting. Next - Peterhof
