Jupiter Fountain

Tvaruzkovy festival

The fountain with the statue of Jupiter is located in the southeastern part of the Lower Square. The stone water reservoir has a square ground plan with bevelled corners. The tank walls are simply profiled on the outside. In the middle of the reservoir there are four pillars carrying a square prism of the plinth, embossed with mascarons with plant motifs. In the plinth there are eight gargoyles in the form of lion heads and stylized flowers. On it stands a life-size statue of Jupiter, holding a bundle of lightning on his right, an eagle at his left foot. The statue was originally created by Tyrolean sculptor Filip Sattler.

You sit down or look at the fountain or look around and go on, it's just a pretty fountain. Nothing more, nothing less. Well, more than less.

An eighteenth-century baroque fountain depicting the figure of the Roman equivalent of Zeus - Jupiter by Philip Sattler. The scene depicts the fight between Jupiter and the city's enemies. The fountain is one of several beautiful ornaments of the old town of Olomouc. It is worth paying attention to her while discovering Olomouc.

A very nice fountain, but around the loudly rising band of homeless with dogs. It did not make a great impression on foreign friends.
