Lions Fountain, Jerusalem, Bronze fountain in Bloomfield Park, Jerusalem, Israel.
The Lions Fountain is a bronze fountain in Bloomfield Park featuring multiple water flows and detailed animal sculptures arranged around a central tree structure. Lions, doves, and mice are carefully positioned throughout this arrangement.
The fountain was created in 1989 by German sculptor Gernot Rumpf as a gift from West Germany. It marked an important addition to Jerusalem's public water features.
The three tree branches represent the three major faiths, while the seven water streams carry numerical meaning from religious texts.
The fountain is most active during summer months and offers children a place to play in the water. The entire setting is within the park and accessible for visitors to spend time comfortably.
The lions in the sculpture connect to the Lion of Judah, a symbol that also appears in Jerusalem's municipal emblem. This link between the artwork and the city's identity gives the fountain deeper meaning.
