Hygieia fountain, St. Petersburg, Bronze fountain near Military Medical Academy, St. Petersburg, Russia.

The Hygieia fountain features a bronze figure atop a granite pedestal, combining materials such as cast iron to reach 5 meters in height.

Architect Andrei Stackenschneider and sculptor David Jensen completed this monument in 1872 as part of the Military Medical Academy complex.

The fountain depicts Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health and cleanliness, representing the connection between medicine and public wellness in Russian society.

Located in the Vyborgsky District, the fountain stands in the ceremonial courtyard of the Military Medical Academy, accessible from Academician Lebedev Street.

The fountain underwent multiple relocations within the academy grounds before settling in its current position, where a monument to Yakov Villie once stood.
