Fontaine du square Lamartine, Drinking fountain in Square Lamartine, 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The Fontaine du Square Lamartine is a drinking fountain with a dome structure supported by four decorative columns in the 16th arrondissement's public square. The cast iron construction provides fresh water through a central spout accessible to passersby.
The fountain was built during the 19th century as part of a municipal program to improve water access for the city. This effort came after water shortages and rising prices that followed the siege of Paris.
The fountain serves the local neighborhood as a simple water source for daily use by residents and visitors passing through. It reflects the city's long-standing principle of making clean water freely available to everyone.
The fountain operates seasonally from spring through fall, providing free fresh water during warmer months. Visitors should note that water is not available outside this period.
The fountain is part of the renowned Wallace fountain collection of Paris and features decorative elements representing virtues. These artistic details make it a notable example of 19th-century urban water infrastructure.
