Triton Lake at Powerscourt Estate is a captivating feature within the Italian Garden. 🌊✨ Overlooked by life-sized winged Pegasus Horses, these zinc sculptures were crafted in 1869 by Professor Hugo Hagen in Berlin and symbolize Greek mythology's creators of springs and carriers of Zeus' thunderbolts. The dramatic fountain at the lake’s center is inspired by Rome’s Piazza Barberini, adding an elegant touch to the serene landscape. 🐎🏛️ The combination of mythological art and natural beauty makes Triton Lake a must-visit spot.
