Sun Fountain

The "Sun" Fountain is located in the eastern part of the Lower Park of Peterhof, in the center of the Menagerie Pond. Originally conceived by Peter I as the Menagerie Fountain, it was completely rebuilt in 1772–1776 by architects Yu. M. Felten and I. Ya. Yakovlev, who added 16 dolphins and a rotating column with gilded discs. In 2020–2021, the monument underwent a comprehensive restoration, after which its ceremonial launch took place in the summer of 2021.
