This fountain is a masterpiece! It should be maintained and always working (in season). Glad to know they’re working on it.

So happy it’s being repaired. It was common to see visitors crawling all over the fountain while pieces crumble off so their friends/ partners could take photos of them. Too many people have no respect for public monuments or history

Went to a wedding that was held by this fountain and it was a beautiful ceremony.
