Diamond Jubilee Fountain

This watch was launched in 1900 to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Day and you can find it on Independence Avenue. The Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Fountain features what is believed to be the smallest statue of Queen Victoria in the world. The statue you see today atop the fountain is actually a copy and the original porcelain can be found in the National Museum. And apart from being really beautiful, many people don't know that this fountain is actually a drinking fountain.

Today, along with the clock tower (see below), the Jubilee fountain represents the period when Seychelles was part of the British Empire. It also represents the close relationship still maintained with England today. The beauty of the fountain is an ancient and old beauty, but still has the beauty of Queen Victoria. Although it is just a copy, it still has its own characteristics. Diamond Jubilee Fountain is on the list of the most beautiful historical sites in Seychelles.

Location: Victoria, Seychelles.
