Located at the entrance to the Fitzroy Gardens, on the corner of Darlinghurst Road and Macleay Street, is the El Alamein Memorial Fountain. The fountain was commissioned as a memorial to soldiers who died in WWII, during two battles at El Alamein, Egypt in 1942. Since its addition in 1959 the fountain has become a well-known landmark of Kings Cross and often serves as a meeting point for locals and visitors alike.
