Multimedia Fountain
Poland
The Wrocław Multimedia Fountain is a magnificent sight to behold and is located in the historic Wrocław exhibition ground. This iconic landmark is situated next to the early modernist Centennial Hall and is surrounded by the Wrocław Pergola, making it a popular tourist attraction.
Constructed in 2009, it is one of the largest operating fountains in Europe, covering an area of 1 hectare (110,000 sq ft). The fountain features over 300 jets that work in tandem with music and light to create a mesmerizing water show, making it a true multimedia spectacle. A computerized program controls the animated water shows, which are truly a sight to behold, especially during the night-time shows when the fountain is illuminated by 800 computer-programmed coloured lights.
When winter comes, the Wrocław Fountain is drained and transformed into a 4,700 square metre (51,000 sq ft) ice skating rink, providing visitors with a unique experience. The rink is a popular spot for both tourists and locals, making the Wrocław Multimedia Fountain a versatile landmark that is enjoyed all year round.
