Adam and Eve Fountains

The "Adam" and "Eve" fountains in the Lower Park of Peterhof are identical in their artistic and engineering design, differing only in the central figures, which were interpreted as allegories of Peter I and Catherine I. In the center of each fountain, on a high pedestal, stands a sculpture by the Venetian master Giovanni Bonazza, framed by a circle of sixteen jets 7 meters high. The jets do not spray, but break into large drops, clearly visible from a distance. In 1986 and 2001, the original statues were replaced with copies made of artificial marble.
