    It is an historical monument built by the French colony sculptor : Francis de Saint-Vidal at about 1898. The place is fountain where almost the visitors come to drink from it or even wash their faces and hands. It is so sweet drinkable water come out from it naturally. This spot is so famous all over the city and even the country of Algeria.

    This is an iconic corner in Sétif, You can't go there & not see this historical fountain, it's usually crowded during the day, especially during hot summer days where even locals tend to go there to have some fresh water, some believe its water is sacred & maybe it is. I'd totally recommend visiting this monument if you're in town.

    I'll go there when I have time, but it's not a place worth taking the time to visit. There is a large park mall setif nearby, which is good for shopping, and there are ruins of a Roman wall.

    Ain Fouara is a one of famous fountain of setif city. Everyone who came to setif must visit it and why not drink some of water as the legend said in order to come back another time (but me I don't like it's water because of the smell but there is another fountain across the road where the water is so refreshing and cold). Sometimes there are lot a crowd but don't forget to take pictures there.
