$PETERHOF, Saint Petersburg, Russia - May 15, 2016: Roman Fountains Square is located in the gardens of the Monplaisir Alley. The fountains consist of two flat stone bowls. The flow of water from the upper tier rushes high up to ten meters, successively falls on the upper and lower bowls and then flows into a wide pool. This creates a shiny curtain of water, giving the fountains an amazingly beautiful look. The works were carried out since 1797 under the supervision of architects Franz Brouwer, Friedrich Stengel and Timofey Nasonov, as well as the master of fountain affairs Fyodor Strelnikov. The work was completed by the summer of 1800. Roman pyramids were decorated with multicolored marble cladding and lead-cast mascarons, festoons and wreaths, garlands and shells. Roman fountains got their name because of their similarity to the fountains installed in Rome in the center of the square in front of St. Peter's Cathedral.\nDuring the war, the German occupiers destroyed the marble cladding of the pyramids and swimming pools, undermined water pipelines. The fountains were restored in 1954.\nA favorite place for walking with children of Peterburg residents and visitors.$
