Fontaine des Tritons, Baroque fountain in Jardin Albert Ier, Nice, France
The Fontaine des Tritons displays water features and stone sculptures depicting mythological sea creatures with human torsos and fish tails.
The fountain, constructed in the 18th century, represents the architectural development period when Nice enhanced its public spaces with decorative water features.
The fountain combines Mediterranean maritime traditions with classical French design, reflecting the dual cultural identity of Nice's architectural heritage.
Located within walking distance of the Promenade des Anglais, the fountain provides a central meeting point for guided tours of Nice.
Each triton figure in the fountain holds a different position, creating distinct water patterns that change with the intensity of sunlight.
