Roman Fountains in Peterhof, Roman Fountains in Lower Park of Peterhof, Russia.
The Roman Fountains reach 10 meters in height and feature marble structures with brick and granite bases in the eastern section of the Lower Park.
Built in 1739 by Ivan Blank and Nikolai Davidov, these fountains underwent reconstruction in 1763 under Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, replacing wooden elements with marble.
These fountains connect the Chess Hill to Monplaisir Terrace, reflecting architectural influences from Saint Peter's Cathedral in Rome through their design and proportions.
The fountains operate from late April through mid-October, powered by a gravity-fed water system from springs located 20 kilometers away.
The fountains form part of an engineering system that delivers 34,000 liters of water per second through natural pressure without mechanical pumps.
