Wellington Fountain, Victorian fountain in Fort district, Mumbai, India.

The Wellington Fountain features an octagonal basin with a diameter of thirty-seven feet, supported by a circular column surrounded by six steps.

Built in 1865, this neoclassical structure commemorates Arthur Wellesley's visits to India in 1801 and 1804 through eight bas-reliefs depicting military victories.

The fountain connects to the Victorian Gothic architecture ensemble of Mumbai, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2018.

Located at Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Chowk, the fountain serves as a central reference point between Regal Cinema and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Museum.

The 2017 restoration project revealed that the original water engineering system remained functional after more than 150 years of existence.

Location: Mumbai City district

Part of: Victorian Gothic and Art Deco Ensembles of Mumbai
