Zodiac Fountain, Historic fountain at Liberty Square entrance of Carol Park in Bucharest, Romania.
The Zodiac Fountain features a large elliptical basin measuring 50 meters in diameter with water flowing from two parallel granite walls.
Architect Octav Doicescu designed this fountain, which was inaugurated in 1936 during an exhibition called Bucharest's Month following Romania's economic recovery.
The fountain includes detailed mosaics by sculptor Milița Petrașcu depicting scenes from Miorița, a traditional Romanian pastoral ballad.
Visitors can reach the fountain through Carol Park's main entrance, where it serves as a central meeting point in sector 4.
The fountain's mosaic elements were crafted using specialized enameled ceramic pieces through a technique developed by artist Niculescu Mogoș Gheorghe.
