Book fountain, Budapest, Hungary. in Egyetem Square, District 5.
The water jets create the illusion that the pages are turning.
Where is this wonderful fountain? In the heart of Europe. Hungary, the heart.
In the heart of the old city. The fountain is in Egyetem Square. hard to remember the name until you learn it means University square.
Then I looked up the translation of university in translate Google and found two options, university and academy. Think of the Greek letters c/g and y and d/t and y and although they don't exactly match in the right order that's enough of a reminder for the words university and academy and Egyetem to match.
My next way to remember it when typing was to break the word up into Eg (egg) yet- tem temporal. Egg head, yes, time. the university is the university of law. How appropriate for the fountain to symbolise the lawyers turning the pages to find a law or precedent to win a case in court.
The building behind the fountain is an historic building with classical elements of arches (which to me look Roman) and columns (which to me look Roman or Greek).
This square is one of three nearby squares. Not a million miles from the river which divides Buda and Pest.
If this nvelty fountain intrigues and delights you: here's another novelty fountain:
