Apollo's Fountain
Apollo rising from the water at the Palace of Versailles as people are out exploring the garden and Allee Royale leading up to the palace. Louis XIV added the spectacular gilded lead of Apollo riding his chariot, based on the legend of Apollo, the Sun god and the King’s icon. It features the god bursting forth from the water in anticipation of his daily flight above the earth. Built between 1668 and 1670.
