The fountain features a dry-style basin design, allowing visitors to walk across the plaza floor when the water jets are inactive.
It utilizes two 10-meter-wide water screens, which function as projection surfaces for multimedia mapping shows.
The entire system is controlled by a computerized digital signal processor that orchestrates light, water pressure, and sound in millisecond-accurate sequences.
The water basin holds approximately 120,000 liters of water in a recirculating loop.
The installation was part of a major revitalization project for Plac Litewski, which transformed the space into a pedestrian-oriented urban park.
The Multimedia Fountain in Lublin, located on Plac Litewski, is a complex water feature utilizing high-tech light and sound systems. The facility spans over 1,000 square meters and features 227 water nozzles, 271 LED lights, and two water screens for laser projections. During evening shows, the system synchronizes water jets with music and holographic visual storytelling to recount the history of Lublin. The surrounding infrastructure includes an underground control chamber and a sophisticated filtration system that manages the water circulation. It serves as the focal point of the renovated city square, which incorporates modern urban architecture into a historical context. The fountain operates on a seasonal basis with varied programming throughout the warmer months.
From the raised wooden platforms on the south side of the square to capture both the fountain and the architectural backdrop of the historic buildings.
Bring a light jacket, as the mist from the fountain can create a cooling effect even on warm evenings.
Secure a spot near the central benches early to ensure a clear line of sight to the water screens.
Use the adjacent elevated walking paths for a better perspective of the light patterns reflecting off the water surface.
Do not enter the dry fountain basin area while the show is in progress, as the water jets are pressurized and activate unexpectedly.
Operating season typically spans from May to October; shows are generally suspended during the winter months due to freezing temperatures.
