The "Fountain with the Sirens" is situated north of “Morsko kazino” and is one of the most romantic and emblematic spots in The Sea Garden.
Construction began in 1926 at the initiative of Petar Stoyanov (Mayor of Varna) and park designer Anthon Novak. The project was approved by the Municipality and Kiril Shivarov was commissioned to create the fountain’s sculptural design.
At that time, Kiril Shivarov had already founded a school of sculpture and, together with a group of young sculptors, commenced work on the fountain’s sculptural design.
The fountain consists of a circular basin with an elaborate decorative and figurative sculpture at its center, depicting a mythical scene. The sculpture features three mermaids seated on natural rocks, supporting a large, undulating seashell with their necks. Within the seashell are sculptures of playing children. The fountain has a diameter of 10 m, while the central composition measures 2.8 × 3.3 m. It is constructed from both natural and artificial rocks, as well as cement.
The fountain was inaugurated in the summer of 1928, at the same time the Morsko Casino officially opened to visitors. These two iconic landmarks of modern Varna—the Morsko Casino and the Fountain with the Sirens—were part of a 1920s project to develop Varna into an international seaside resort modeled on European standards.
