Triton Fountain

The "Triton" Fountain in the Orangery Garden of Peterhof is an allegory of Russia's triumph in the struggle for the Baltic Sea and the victory of the Russian fleet over the Swedish squadron at Cape Gangut in 1714. An eight-meter jet of water spouts from the mouth of a sea monster, and four turtles are located around it, from whose mouths two-meter jets spout, symbolizing the allies who betrayed the Swedish king. The sculptural group was made according to the model of B. K. Rastrelli, and before the restoration, the physical wear of the structures was 90%. The restoration work, completed in June 2021, included the replacement of granite and marble cladding, as well as the repair of hydraulic systems.
