About this work

The Saracen Fountain is a large, ornate fountain located in Alexandra Park, Glasgow, Scotland. It was made of cast iron by Macfarlane & Co.'s Saracen Foundry for the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition and presented to the city as a gift by foundry owner Walter Macfarlane. The fountain was originally located in Kelvingrove Park. It is influenced by the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens.
