The Bethesda Fountain is one of the largest fountains in New York and one of the most well known in the world. This neoclassical sculpture also known as the “Angel of the Waters” features an eight foot bronze angel who stands above four small cherubs representing health, purity, temperance and peace. The angel carries a lily in one hand, while the other hand is outstretched, delivering a blessing on the water pouring from around her feet.
Located at 72nd Street half way between the east and west sides of the park.
