Fonte de Buckingham

Buckingham Fountain is a striking landmark in Chicago's Grant Park. Designed by Edward H. Bennett and dedicated in 1927, it honors its donor, Kate Buckingham. Inspired by the Latona Fountain at Versailles, its central basin represents Lake Michigan. Surrounded by four sculpture groups with bronze Art Deco sea horses that symbolize the neighboring states, the fountain is one of the largest of its kind in the world. You can see it daily from mid-April to mid-October, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., when it is illuminated with more than 800 lights.
