Archibald Fountain Sydney

Unveiled in March 1932 by the Lord Mayor of Sydney Samuel Walder the Archibald Fountain is located in Hyde Park in central Sydney and is the favorite fountain of the city. Inspired from classical Greek and Roman art and literature the flamboyant fountain depicts a bronze Apollo surrounded by other mythical figures and animals that exuberantly spray jets of water. Designed by French sculptor Francois Sicard it commemorates the association of Australia and France during World War 1.
