Independence Square Fountain

Independence Square Fountain

2 min. to read

The Fountain on Independence Square in Minsk is one of the city's bright decorations, becoming its calling card. Built in 2006, it is a glass dome crowned with bronze sculptures of three soaring storks, symbolizing freedom and independence. This unique fountain also serves as a roof for the three-story shopping center "Stolitsa," located under the square. The fountain's feature is its high-tech control system and musical accompaniment, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Around the fountain, 700 water jets shoot up, which reflect off the glass surface on sunny days, creating the effect of a huge sparkling diamond. Along the perimeter of the dome are the coats of arms of six regional cities of Belarus: Minsk, Gomel, Vitebsk, Grodno, Mogilev, and Brest. In the evening, the fountain transforms thanks to built-in lighting, making it a center of attention for both residents and tourists. This place is perfect for photos and walks, especially during the warm season when the fountain is in operation. The fountain on Independence Square not only decorates the city but also harmoniously blends with the surrounding architecture, emphasizing the grandeur and beauty of the Belarusian capital.
