Fontanna Alegoria Walki i Zwycięstwa, Neo-baroque fountain at plac Jana Pawła II, Wrocław, Poland
The fountain features two main sculptures on pedestals flanking a central water feature with cascading basins arranged in concentric circles.
Created in 1905 with surplus funds from the Bismarck Monument committee, the fountain was designed by architect Bernard Sehring and sculptor Ernst Seger.
The sculptures depict an athlete fighting a lion to represent struggle, while the companion piece shows the figure seated on the defeated animal.
The fountain stands as part of the Promenada Staromiejska along the city moat and is managed by the local road maintenance authority.
In 1970, the entire fountain structure was relocated several meters southward from its original position at what was then called Königsplatz.
