Fontaine Delille, 19th century fountain in Place Delille, Clermont-Ferrand, France.
The fountain consists of a circular stone basin with three tiers, featuring iron decorations, lion heads, and six statues of putti playing with dolphins.
Built in 1875, the fountain collected water from three elevated sources and stored it in an underground brick reservoir before distribution to the Carmes cemetery.
The French government designated the fountain as a protected historical monument in 2007, recognizing its architectural and technical importance to Clermont-Ferrand.
The fountain serves as a central water distribution point in Place Delille, managed by the municipality of Clermont-Ferrand for public access.
The underground section features a vaulted brick structure supported by four central pillars that maintain the monumental fountain above ground level.
