📍 Russia
Set at the heart of Peterhof’s Lower Park, the Samson Fountain is an iconic landmark in St. Petersburg, symbolizing Russia’s victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War. The gilded statue of Samson prying open a lion’s jaws embodies the city’s grand spirit and historic legacies. Water jets soar over twenty meters high, showcasing intricate engineering. Surrounded by manicured gardens, the fountain is most captivating in summer, when all 64 in the ensemble operate simultaneously. Its central location near the palace ensures easy access for travelers seeking this magnificent spectacle.
