Fountain in front of the city hall

The Fountain in front of the City Hall (Central Square)

The fountain in front of the City Hall stands in Plovdiv's Central Square, in the heart of the city. It is a well-loved urban landmark, part of the layout of the main square, where locals and tourists pause, take photos and rest in the middle of a stroll through the centre.

What you'll see

It is a decorative water fountain whose jets enliven the central square. The atmosphere is that of a lively city plaza: open space, people passing through, notable buildings all around. It is not a historic monument in itself, but rather a pleasant feature of the cityscape, especially in warm weather when the water cools the air.

Practical

The fountain is very easy to find, in Plovdiv's central pedestrian area beside the City Hall. Access is free. It is best combined with a walk along the Glavnata (the main pedestrian street) and a visit to the nearby attractions — the Roman remains, the Old Town and the central parks. It makes a short stop and a handy orientation point in the city centre.
