Lion Cascade, Federal cultural heritage fountain in Petergof, Russia.
The Lion Cascade features 14 gray granite columns supporting a Greek temple design with bronze lions standing guard at the central pool.
Built between 1799 and 1801, the Lion Cascade forms part of the larger Grand Cascade ensemble that represents Peter the Great's maritime aspirations.
The bronze figure of nymph Aganipph sits atop granite stones in the indoor pool, reflecting classical mythology through architectural elements.
The Lion Cascade operates without mechanical pumps, utilizing a gravity-fed water system that maintains consistent water flow through multiple fountains.
Marble vases function as additional water features among the granite columns, creating varied water patterns throughout the cascade structure.
