Ram Headed Storyteller - Birmingham, Alabama

1 Recommendations

Birmingham is a city in the central region of Alabama, and is the county seat of Jefferson County. Birmingham has begun to experience something of a rebirth, as New resources have been dedicated in reconstructing the downtown area into a 24-hour mixed-use district, becoming a truly diverse city. Along with diversity comes interesting art pieces, those hidden obscurities, like the ram headed storyteller fountain at five points south. What are its origins? why was this local landmark created? as many in the Birmingham community believe the statutes to be Satanic or Pagan, which is not the truth.
