Fountain of Amiral Bruat, Bronze sculpture in central Colmar, France
The monument features a central figure of Admiral Bruat surrounded by four statues representing Asia, Africa, Oceania, and America at its base.
The original monument from 1864 was destroyed by German forces in 1940, leading to a complete reconstruction completed in 1958.
The monument commemorates Admiral Armand Joseph Bruat, who served as Governor of the Marquesas Islands and Commander of the Black Sea fleet.
Visitors can observe the original statue heads at the nearby Bartholdi Museum while examining the reconstructed monument in its outdoor setting.
The bronze material used for the original statue came from enemy cannons captured during Admiral Bruat's naval campaigns.
