Fontaine de Janus, Roman fountain at Place Broglie, Strasbourg, France
The Janus Fountain features a rectangular basin with an antique aqueduct structure made of 5,000 bricks and two archways at its center.
Built in 1988 to commemorate Strasbourg's 2,000-year history, the fountain stands where a 1785 building remained until the 1970s urban development.
The bronze two-faced head of Janus represents the dual French and German identity of Strasbourg through its east and west-facing perspectives.
Located next to the Strasbourg Opera House, the fountain occupies 80 square meters and contains a 1.5-meter-high bronze statue weighing 400 kilograms.
The inscriptions 'Argentoratum MM' and 'Strasbourg 2000' on opposite sides connect the Roman settlement to the modern city.
