Saracen Fountain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saracen Fountain is a large, ornate fountain located in Alexandra Park, Glasgow, Scotland.[1][2] It was made of cast iron by Macfarlane & Co.'s Saracen Foundry for the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition and presented to the city as a gift by foundry owner Walter Macfarlane.[1] The fountain was originally located in Kelvingrove Park.[3] It is influenced by the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens.[4]
It is now a Category A listed building.[5]
