    This fountain was erected in 1778 by the sculptor Dominique Fossati. It has fine sculptures: 4 lions supporting an obelisk, 4 dolphins and 2 groups of young children on sea turtle

    Fossati Fountain

    Original Text

    The fountain on Capucinov Square was performed by sculptor Dominique Fossati at the request of the municipal council of the city in 1778. Statues of strange dolphins diving in the pool, and lions ... look interesting
