Federation Fountain

Completed in 1870, the fountain features a monumental group of sculptures at its center.
At the center of the large oval basin, embellished with cascades and water jets, stand 3 statues: Liberty, standing on a pedestal marked with the initials RF; flanked on the left by a male figure symbolizing Strength; and on the right by a female figure representing Justice. All three are seated on an antique-style ship's prow, its rostrum adorned with a garland of flowers. At either end, sea horses rise from the waves, ridden by putti.
