    The Arion Fountain is the centerpiece of the Baroque circular parterre in the Schwetzingen Palace Gardens. It depicts the singer Arion, who, according to legend, was saved from drowning by a dolphin—a scene steeped in myth and grace. The fountain figure originally came from France and was brought to Schwetzingen by Elector Carl Theodor in 1766.
