The 180-year-old fountain — the country’s oldest of its kind — underwent a renovation that not only modernized its infrastructure, but added colored lights and music. Find a place on the lawn or sit back on a bench and watch the elaborate water effects dance and shoot high into the air, choreographed to a variety of music from the decades. After dusk, fountain performances are enhanced with synchronized colored illuminations!
