    Erected in 1858 at the foot of the ancient ramparts, this monumental fountain is the work of Montpellier sculptor Auguste Baussan. The statue crowning it represents Agathé, the personification of the Greek city of Agde, accompanied by three lionesses who symbolically watch over the city.

    The ensemble combines three remarkable materials: the Carrara marble of the statue, the African marble of the lionesses, and the basalt of the fountain. This choice echoes the very identity of Agde: a city founded by the Greeks over 2,500 years ago, but whose heritage is deeply marked by volcanic rocks from Agde's volcanism.
