Stories of Brno's Fountains and Wells

A guided walk through the historic fountains in central Brno and their role in the city's everyday life. Today they are seen mainly as decorative elements of public space - but in the past they served as a crucial source of water and a symbol of municipal care. Servants and housewives from neighbouring homes would gather at them to draw water and exchange news from the city. The fountains thus fulfilled not only a practical but also a social function.

The route will lead from the Old Town Hall through the Vegetable Market, Dominican Square, Freedom Square and James Square to the park at Kolište. The walk focuses on both well-known and less obvious Brno fountains and traces their transformations over time.
