Dragon Fountain, Bronze fountain in City Hall Square, Denmark.
The Dragon Fountain reaches a height of seven meters and features a central motif of a bull engaged in combat with a dragon.
Created in 1904 by Thorvald Bindesbøll and Joakim Skovgaard, the fountain was initially designed for Amagertorv before finding its place at City Hall Square.
The fountain incorporates elements from ancient Greek ornamentation and includes three water-spraying dragons positioned along the edge of its basin.
Visitors can access fresh drinking water from this public fountain, which stands as a central meeting point in Copenhagen's City Hall Square.
The fountain underwent a significant relocation in 1954, moving 25 meters into the square due to the expansion of H.C. Andersens Boulevard.
