A fountain crowned by three statues
2
0
The Fontaine de la Rotonde was designed in cold stones from the quarries of Saint-Antonin, Pourrières, and Fuveau. It consists of a large circular basin of 104 ft (32 m) at the ground level surmounted by another superimposed basin of 49 ft (15 m) and a 26 ft (8m) cast-iron bowl. The ensemble is crowned by three Carrara marble statues on a base decorated with cheetah heads sculpted by François Truphème. The statue signed Ramus and facing the Cours Mirabeau represents justice, the one designed by Chabaud and oriented towards Marseille symbolizes agriculture, and the last one by Ferrat and looking towards Avignon is the emblem of fine arts.
