The Dancing Fountains at the SNFCC Canal include 59 vertical water jets in line with the architectural design by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, together with 10 swiveling fountains, forming a powerful light, sound, and water display that captivate visitors day and night: Special LED lights are installed underwater.
The Dancing Fountains have been constructed thanks to the initiative and funding of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).
