Parnas fountain, Baroque fountain in Zelny trh, Brno, Czech Republic
The fountain features a central statue of Apollo surrounded by numerous mythological figures carved in stone, with water flowing from multiple spouts.
Built between 1863 and 1865 under the direction of architect Franz Špilar, the fountain served as a primary water source for local residents.
The fountain design draws inspiration from Mount Parnassus in Greece, incorporating elements that represent the connection between water and artistic expression.
Located in the central market square, the fountain remains active throughout the year and provides drinking water through its accessible spouts.
Each of the carved figures on the fountain represents different Greek deities and classical elements, forming a complete mythological narrative in stone.
