ornamental fountains

Decorative water displays

Ornamental fountains are decorative water features designed for aesthetic appeal rather than practical water supply.

Found in gardens, plazas, and public spaces, they range from simple basins with jets to elaborate sculptural displays: The ornamental fountains in the palace gardens were lit up at night.

They often serve as gathering places or landmarks.
