Fountain of Venus, Bronze fountain in Alameda Central park, Mexico City, Mexico.
The fountain presents a central figure of Venus standing tall, surrounded by water basins and decorative elements in classical European style.
The French sculptor Mathurin Moreau created this fountain as a gift to Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico in 1866.
The fountain exhibits the integration of European artistry into Mexican public spaces during the Second Mexican Empire period.
Located in the center of Alameda Central park, the fountain remains accessible through multiple pedestrian paths and public transportation stations.
An identical version of this Venus statue stands in the French town of Limoux, connecting both cities through shared artistic heritage.
