The magical power of the Zodiac Fountain

The name of the fountain comes from the zodiac circle represented on the bottom of the basin. The fountain is said to have mystical powers due to the zodiac symbols, which can influence the destiny of those who visit it. Although this is an urban legend, many visitors believe that a walk around the fountain can bring good luck or change the course of events in their lives.

Romantic meeting place

During the interwar period and even later, the Zodiac Fountain was a popular spot for romantic rendezvous. It was believed that those who meet at the fountain and express their feelings in front of it will have a lasting and happy relationship.

The Symbolism of the Zodiac Fountain

The zodiac symbols depicted on the fountain are considered to be a reminder of the connection between man and the cosmos. This symbolism can be seen as a tribute to the ancient astrological beliefs that have influenced European culture over the centuries.

The legend of restoration

During the communist years, the fountain suffered degradation and some of the zodiac symbols were almost destroyed. It is said that when the fountain was restored in the 1980s, the restoration team followed certain old rites and traditions to “reactivate” the fountain’s positive energy.
