Depicted modern austere sandstone fountain with much older early-Baroque sculpture of Hercules fighting lion decorates central part of the "Na Valech" gardein in Prague Castle.
Fountain, built by the Castle architect Jože Plecnik in 1923, is composed of simple cubic sandstone plinth (decorated CoA of Slovakia and Roman ornaments) with a small central basin and from early-Baroque (ca 1680?) sculpture of Hercules holding opened lion's head with water jet.
