Fuente de las Nereidas, Monumental fountain in Puerto Madero, Argentina.
A marble fountain featuring sea nymphs and marine horses rises from a shell-shaped base, creating water displays along the waterfront promenade.
Argentine sculptor Lola Mora completed this marble masterpiece in 1903, initially intended for Plaza de Mayo before its relocation to Puerto Madero in 1918.
The fountain represents the birth of Venus, with nereids, mythological sea creatures from Greek mythology, emerging from the waters in detailed carvings.
Located at Costanera Sur, the fountain provides a central meeting point for visitors exploring the renovated docklands of Puerto Madero district.
Lola Mora carved the entire structure from Carrara marble, becoming the first female artist to create a major public monument in Buenos Aires.
