Roman Fountain

Why go

This is a monument about Roman memory, not a Roman ruin. Its figures condense the city’s early history into an accessible street-side scene, and the location near the former defensive line helps connect the artwork to the geography it interprets.

What to look for

• The she-wolf is a clear visual reference to Rome.
• Portraits and reliefs extend the fountain’s account of Cologne’s Roman associations.

Useful to know

• Walk around the fountain to see the relief details rather than judging it from one side.
• Use Burgmauer as a link to nearby traces of the old city boundary.
