Parnassus Fountain

TIME : 2016/2/18 17:05:42

This fountain at the heart of Zelný trh (Cabbage Market) is a symbolic cave encrusted with allegorical figures. Hercules restrains three-headed Cerberus, watchdog of the underworld, and the three female figures represent the ancient empires of Babylon (crown), Persia (cornucopia) and Greece (quiver of arrows).
