Central Figure (Helios): The main highlight is the dramatic sculpture of Helios, the Greek Sun God, riding a chariot pulled by five powerful horses. This sculpture is positioned prominently near the cascade’s bottom. The horses were designed by renowned British sculptor Susan Leyland.
Extensive Collection: The complex features a collection of over 40 yellow bronze sculptures in total.
Other Deities: The surrounding statues depict other major Greek and Roman gods and goddesses, including:
Apollo (God of music, prophecy, and light).

Bacchus (God of agriculture, wine, and fertility).
Athena (Goddess of wisdom and war).
2. The Artistry and Material
Frilli Gallery Masterpiece: The entire sculpture complex was crafted by the prestigious Frilli Gallery, a famous sculpture studio in Florence, Italy, with a history of over 150 years.
Lost-Wax Casting: The statues were created using the ancient and highly detailed technique of lost-wax casting.
Golden Alloy: They are cast in a unique, proprietary yellow bronze alloy invented by the Frilli Gallery, designed to look particularly “glorious” and regal when reflecting the sunlight.
+ Architectural Design and Location
Inspiration: The design of the cascading waterfall is said to be inspired by famous European fountains, particularly the Grand Cascade at the Peterhof Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Location: It is strategically located in the heart of the French Village, near the Beer Plaza restaurant and the Le Jardin d’Amour Gardens, making it a central gathering and photo-taking spot.
Night Illumination: The waterfall remains open in the evening, when a sophisticated lighting system illuminates the sculptures and cascading water, creating a stunningly royal and glamorous atmosphere.
