Fountains with an allegory of Justice were a great success in the reformed cities of the 16th century. In Lausanne, the stone basin dates from 1557 and the statue is believed to have been executed in 1584-1585. The present copy dates from 1930 (the original, unpainted, is on display at the Historical Museum of Lausanne). Above the fountain, a clock comes alive every hour from 9am to 7pm. Accompanied by carillon music, a man's voice briefly tells the history of the canton of Vaud, while pretty characters appear.

Le point central de la ville
La fontaine de la palce de la Paludest très originale, elle constitue en quelque sorte le point central de la vieille ville avec l'hôtel de ville (remarquez les gargouilles).et l'horloge animée. A deux pas de là, commencent les fameux escaliers en bois couverts qui permettent d'atteindre la cathédrale. Bref "la place à ne pas manquer" !
