The fountain was unveiled as part of the city's 300th-anniversary celebrations to modernize the urban landscape.
It sits on a site that serves as a transition zone between the historic Oranienbaum park area and the town's residential district.
The structure utilizes a recirculating water system to minimize environmental impact.
The base of the fountain is constructed from polished granite to withstand the regional freeze-thaw cycles.
The Fountain in honor of the 300th anniversary of the city is a modern urban water feature located in the center of Lomonosov, near St. Petersburg. Constructed to commemorate the city's tercentenary, it serves as a primary gathering point for local residents on Aleksandrovskaya Street. The design features a circular basin with a central tiered spray mechanism that creates a consistent vertical water flow. The surrounding plaza is paved, offering bench seating and pedestrian access from multiple sides. It is situated adjacent to the primary administrative and historical sector of Lomonosov.
