Fontaine de Janus

Images
A modern memorial fountain created in 1988 to mark Strasbourg’s bimillennium. The design involves a fragment of a Roman aqueduct and a bronze figure of Janus, the two-faced Roman god, intended to nod to the city’s Franco-German identity. The work was realised by sculptor Denis Roth with design by Tomi Ungerer and architect Paul Ziegler.

Highlights

  • A compact, modern fountain with a bronze Janus set into a basin and a short section of faux Roman aqueduct.
  • Benches surround the water, and two small cascades add a steady sound.
  • The site is easy to scan in a few minutes and suits a short pause on a walk through the area.
