Järntorgsbrunnen (Swedish for "The Fountain of the Iron Square") or after the artist's title "De fem världsdelarna" (The Five Continents) is a sculpture by Tore Strindberg that was inaugurated in 1927.
The sculpture consists of a granite fountain with five nude female bronze sculptures representing five continents: Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Australia (Oceania). At the top there is a ship sailing on five streams, symbolizing the five oceans. Since the piece is intended to commemorate the old iron scales that once stood on this site (hence the name of the square, “Iron Square”), 30 trademarks of those ironworks that exported their goods via Gothenburg can be seen throughout the sculpture.

On the square stands an imposing fountain with five naked female sculptures, one more beautiful than the other. They should represent the five continents: Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Australia (Oceania). The beautiful breasts have done to me.
