There are a great number of beautiful fountains in D.C. In the summer heat, here are some of the ones we like best – they are large and offer plenty of seating nearby.
Bartholdi fountain
This fountain was created for the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, and installed the next year at the Botanic Garden after Congress purchased it for $6,ooo. It was designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, who later designed the Statue of Liberty.
