The Adam and The Eve fountains, Fountain complex in Petergof, Russia.

The Adam and Eve fountains feature marble sculptures in octagonal pools with sixteen water jets reaching heights of seven meters.

Commissioned by Peter I in 1718, the fountains were constructed between 1721 and 1726 under the direction of architects N. Michetti and T. N. Usov.

The sculptures, created by Giovanni Bonazza, are reproductions of Antonio Rizzi's works from the Doge's Palace in Venice, representing biblical figures.

The fountains operate from late April through mid-October, with tickets available for purchase at the Peterhof State Museum-Reserve entrance or online.

Each fountain aligns with eight radiating pathways in the Lower Park, creating a geometric pattern that defines the garden's layout.
