Marokkanerbrunnen, Ornamental water well in Landstrasse district, Vienna, Austria
The Marokkaner Fountain features three mosaic-decorated sections with Arabic inscriptions and water flowing into three semicircular basins beneath a carved wooden roof.
The fountain commemorates the 1783 trade and friendship treaty between Morocco and the Austrian monarchy, with the Moroccan ambassador establishing a mission on this street.
The fountain incorporates traditional Moroccan craftsmanship through zellige tilework, wooden sculptures, and Koranic verses displayed in Arabic calligraphy on its surface.
The fountain serves as a drinking water source for visitors and residents, operating from spring through fall to prevent frost damage during winter months.
King Hassan II of Morocco presented this fountain in 1998 as a personal gift to Austria, marking both countries' diplomatic relationship and Austria's millennium celebration.
