Fountain of Samson, Baroque fountain in Podil district, Kyiv, Ukraine
The Fountain of Samson displays a central statue depicting a man overpowering a lion within a circular rotunda topped by a decorative cupola.
Built between 1748 and 1749, the fountain was designed by Ivan Hryhorovych-Barskyi as part of improvements to the Podil district water distribution system.
The statue represents the biblical figure Samson fighting a lion, replacing an earlier statue of Saint Andrew that stood atop the dome until 1809.
The fountain stands at coordinates 50.4640027 latitude and 30.5169964 longitude, with dedicated access paths suitable for wheelchair users.
Four sundial clocks adorn the fountain's columns, while the original sculptures are preserved in the National Art Museum of Ukraine.
