Singing fountain in Košice, Water fountain in Košice, Slovakia
The Singing Fountain in Košice is a water fountain in the main square featuring synchronized water jets that move to music and colored lights. A bell sculpture with 22 bells accompanies the water display with musical performances at set intervals.
The fountain was built in 1986 on the main square as part of the city's urban renewal efforts in the late twentieth century. It marked a turning point in how Košice invested in public spaces and community gathering areas.
The fountain serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors stop to watch the water performances unfold. It reflects the community's appreciation for public art that brings people together in the heart of the city.
The fountain is accessible year-round but operates mainly during the warmer months from spring through autumn. The shows are free to watch and you can get the best view from the benches surrounding the square or by standing on the plaza itself.
The fountain includes an integrated drinking water supply system that serves a practical purpose alongside the artistic water displays. This blend of art and everyday function makes it distinctive among urban installations.
