Järntorgsbrunnen

Local nameJärntorgsbrunnen
LocationGothenburg, Sweden

Järntorgsbrunnen, or using the artist's title, De fem världsdelarna, is a sculpture by Tore Strindberg, inaugurated October 12, 1927, at Järntorget, Göteborg, Sweden.

The sculpture consists of a granite fountain with five nude female bronze sculptures by Tore Strindberg, representing five continents: Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Australia. A ship at the top is seen sailing on five streams, symbolizing the five oceans. Since the piece is to commemorate the old iron scale which used to be located on this spot, 30 hallmarks from those ironworks who exported their goods via Göteborg can be seen throughout the sculpture.
