Stunning terracotta fountain with impressive detail. Signage denotes that is one of the best examples in the world. On the edge of Glasgow green next to the People's Palace and a short walk from the Barras Market and city centre. Playground: Nearby playground Restrooms: Nearby located inside the People's Palace. Dog-friendliness: Popular with dog walkers Picnic area: Lots of space around the fountain and in the Glasgow green itself.
Imposing and decorative fountain. Could do with a little clean up but is well framed in it’s surroundings and if you look at the detailing it’s quite a work of art. Not dissimilar to the best works seem abroad in places like Rome. Well worth a visit.
Great monument to visit. Represents numerous countries and made of terracotta. A piece of historical history.
This fountain is magnificent but it symbolises something different from the colonial era
It's doubtful if there is a more beautiful fountain in the country. The craftsmanship involved in making it is outstanding. A must see for visitors to the city!
Nice relaxing area found in transit to another place. There seems to be a museum there but it was already closed by the time we got there so the park is quiet then. Can't tell if during the day it'll be the buzz in the area.
Magnificent highly decorative five-tier fountain, it was designed to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 1887 and a gift by Sir Henry Doulton to Glasgow. This majestic-looking fountain stands at Glasgow Green in front of the equally ornate People's Palace which houses the city's social history collection. This iconic Beauty is a MUST see if your in Glasgow
Apparently it's now rare to see the fountain turned on. So here's a pic.
It’s an amazing fountain by the artists John Broad, Herbert Ellis, Pearce himself, Frederick Pomeroy, and William Silver Frith, and the design of the fountain was completed by Arthur Edward. This highly decorative, with water falling from the side, five-tier fountain in French Renaissance style was designed to commemorate the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 1887.
I was quite shocked by the beauty of the fountain, which no plaque or text put into context. "Look at us westerners as we are civilised and make great art." All in praise of the British colonial empire, ignoring the fate of its countless victims.
