This magnificent Sea Nymphs Fountain, placed on the Costanera Sur, was made by the famed sculptress from Tucumn Lola Mora (1877-1936). Donated by the author and inaugurated in the year 1903, it was criticized by the Porteo upper classes of her time since it was unconceivable that she could have made a sculpture with so many nude figures. However, it was later praised for what it represented and unveiled in 1918, near the old jetty on the Dr. Tristan Achaval Rodriguez Av. Sculpted out of Carrara marble, the main scene depicts the goddess Venus emerging from the ocean accompanied by a retinue of Nereids and Tritons that sustain her. A National Historic Monument? Yes.
