Opposite the central entrance of the National Opera, the "Nymph" fountain is the most luxurious and second oldest fountain in Riga, opened in 1887 by sculptor August Foltz. The central figure of the fountain is a 3.5 m high nymph standing on a rock, which holds a conch in its outstretched hands and at the feet of which four children play with dolphins.
The fountain was restored in 1986 by Mirdza Lukaža.
