Historic Fountains and Squares

Aix-en-Provence, often called the city of a thousand fountains, features a diverse range of historic water monuments. This collection includes the 17th-century Baroque Fountain of the Four Dolphins and the moss-covered Fountain of Hot Water, fed by natural thermal springs. The grand Rotunda Fountain serves as a symbolic entrance to the city, while the cast-iron centerpiece at Place d'Albertas highlights elegant 18th-century architecture. Visitors can also explore the listed Fountain of the Nine Cannons and the Town Hall Square, known for its traditional flower market held three times a week.
