About About the place

The Lions Fountain, located in Bloomfield Park near the Liberty Bell Park in Jerusalem, is a notable landmark gifted to the city by Berlin in 1989.

It was the first fountain erected in the modern era of Jerusalem and is situated between the Old City and the modern city center, making it a significant cultural and artistic point of interest.
