Comments:
The Palm Fountain or Victory Fountain is a fountain commemorating the victories of Napoleon Bonaparte. The fountain and the column on it were placed in 1808, which was also intended to provide drinking water to the population (additional to the commemoration of Napoleon)
The fountain is the tallest of those built during Napoleon’s time and still exists.
The name of the fountain comes from the palm leaves that decorate the top of the column.

The fountain and the victory column were photographed on the same day Click for a larger image
