Miorița Fountain, Historic monument in northern Bucharest, Romania.
The fountain features two parallel walls spanning 16 meters in length, with a stone slope between them extending five meters beyond the walls.
Architect Octav Doicescu designed the monument, which opened in 1936 during the Bucharest Month celebrations aimed at increasing tourism after the 1929 crisis.
The fountain displays black and white mosaic friezes depicting scenes from the Romanian ballad Miorița, crafted by sculptor Milița Petrașcu.
The structure includes an elliptical basin measuring 50 meters at its widest point and incorporates a water recovery system for efficient operation.
The monument marks the former northern entrance to Bucharest, constructed from Dobrogea granite with walls reaching 3.20 meters in height.
