Hello, my dear @soulsdetour. Indeed, water fountains have become not only utilitarian structures but also symbolic icons of urban architecture. With regards to the Fuente Osmeña water fountain in my homeland of Cebu, this famous spot has certainly transformed into a favorite venue for congregations, programs, and as you said meeting points. As the popular saying goes "All roads lead to..." 👍
If the plan of matching the road layout of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris was pushed through, there could have been other interesting developments cropping up in my city today. Nevertheless this fountain, as a historic piece of architecture, is still and will always be a beloved cultural monument of Cebu and the Philippines. 😊
