Fountain "Snope"

Fountain "Snope" is located in the Monplaisir garden of Peterhof. The garden, like the palace itself, was designed by Peter I in the eastern part of the Lower Park.

Construction began in 1721 under the direction of the architect N. Michetti.

The fountain is a powerful water cannon. Twenty-four jets strike from the base of a round pool, whose diameter is twenty-one meters. The jets break out in the form of ears, which form the shape of a sheaf. The central jet hits up four and a half meters.

The fountain is surrounded by four fountain bells, which create a complete composition of the Monplaisir Garden.

Currently, the garden is one of the most popular places in Petrodvorets.
