Day 98. Fountains of Vilnius

Yesterday Panorama  by LRT was talking about Vilnius fountains. That's why I've decided to go back this topic.

A journalist mentioned that there are 15 functioning fountains in Vilnius.

And Vilnius municipality authorities have planns to double their number!!!

WOW! Really?!



15 fountains in Vilnius??? Are you joking?

I started in to count them in in my mind, and I counted to 6.

So? For the next 2 weeks I will explore the city and will find all 15.

1. Europos square fountain; 2. Vincas Kudirka Monument fountain; 3. Amberton Hotel fountain; 4. Town Hall square fountain; 5. Vokieciu Street fountain; 6. Lukiskiu Square fountain , ok, and let it be, 7. Tilto street little fountain (egg form).

and I remember not a single one more.

So... In search for Vilnius Fountains:


No 1 Washington Square fountain

well, in September 2020 Panorama by LRT has announced
 that the price of renovated fountain was 170 000 euro. 



No 3 Vincas Kudirka square
Fountain







No 4 Vokieciu street fountain




No 5 Town Hall Square fountain



No 6 K. Sirvydas Square fountain



No 7 One of Bernardine Garden fountains

No 11 Amberton hotel fountains


No 12 Tilto str. fountain in front
