Now it’s getting biblical! The Simson Fountain in the heart of the city is the seventh of eleven colorful figure fountains you will run into when starting your zigzag discovery walk from Bern's railway station. This spot is a popular destination for selfies among visitors of all kinds and depicts the Roman-clad biblical hero Samson as he grasps a lion by its mouth to tear it apart as described in the Book of Judges. It’s worth noting that Samson was a prominent symbol of strength in the 16th century when the fountain was built and considered the biblical equivalent of Hercules.

Amazing place to see the historical old town of Berne. There are many of those very nice little fontains all over the city center. From the bear park, over the clock tower until the trainstation there are whidely spread!

Το Σιντριβάνι Simson, βρίσκεται στο Kramgasse στην παλιά πόλη της πόλης της Βέρνης και χτίστηκε το 1527. Απεικονίζει τον βιβλικό ήρωα Σαμψών , ντυμένο με ρωμαϊκά ρούχα , να αρπάζει ένα λιοντάρι από το στόμα για να το σκίζει (Κριτές 14:6). Ο Σαμψών ήταν δημοφιλές σύμβολο δύναμης τον 16ο αιώνα και θεωρούνταν ο βιβλικός Ηρακλής. Ο Σαμψών είναι οπλισμένος με το σαγόνι ενός γαϊδάρου και φέρει επίσης τα εργαλεία ενός χασάπη . Αυτή η βρύση μπορεί να ήταν δωρεά της συντεχνίας των κρεοπωλών. Η στήλη και το σχήμα αντικαταστάθηκαν από αντίγραφα από τον Werner Dubi το 1973, ενώ το πρωτότυπο βρίσκεται στο Ιστορικό Μουσείο .

The Simsonbrunnen or Samson statue/fountain is another of Bern's gems. This one doesn't have the recurring bear theme but rather a lion as the animal featured with the strongman Samson. It is in a road filled with historical sights, mark it on your map as another point...
