Zodiac Signs Fountain - Jaffa

Zodiac Fountain was made by sculptors Varda Ghivoly and Ilan Gelber in 2011, (Character Design was created by sculptor Navot Gil). The fountain, located in Kedumim Square, bears chalkstone sculptures of the twelve zodiacs.

The fountain combines effects of water, lighting, and stonework, and completes the representation of the twelve zodiacs in Old Jaffa.

The zodiacs also appear in the street names of Old Jaffa and on the Wishing Bridge connecting Jaffa Hill with Kedumim Square.

The findings found under the fountain corroborate an old legend mentioning the existence of a magical wishing well located in this very place.

Anyone who tosses a coin in it and makes a wish have their wish fulfilled on the spot.
