Fountains to see Czech Republic

The original fountain dates back to the 1891 World's Fair, but a new, more efficient one was built a hundred years later. With fifty pumps and three thousand nozzles, it's virtually unique in the world. The water is colored by numerous reflectors (more than 1,200) and enchants spectators, who come to watch light and music shows with the impressive fountains in operation! A unique experience.

A fine example of Gothic architecture, this fountain features a twelve-sided reservoir on a pedestal. Note that this is not a well or spring, but a reservoir. Indeed, Kutna Hora's water system was severely disrupted by the digging of the mining tunnels, and the town had no water by the Middle Ages. After construction, drinking water was transported to the town center and stored in the reservoir.
