Fountains and Water Feature

The heart of the square is its ground-level fountains, which shoot water to varying heights when in operation. According to visitors, the water level can vary considerably depending on the time of day and the season – from just a few centimetres up to knee height. The fountains run seasonally, though the exact start date in early summer is not always consistent.

Surroundings and Amenity

The surface of the square consists mostly of paving slabs and offers little shade. A few benches are available alongside the fountains. When the water feature is switched off, these basics are all the square has to offer.
