The fountain's design commemorates the connection between Toruń and astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, represented by the planetary-themed water patterns.
Water is recycled through an advanced filtration system located in an underground technical chamber beneath the plaza.
The jets are capable of creating a water curtain screen that can be used for light projections.
Construction of the fountain was integrated into the revitalization project of the historic city moat system.
Fontanna Cosmopolis is a multimedia fountain located in the historic Old Town district of Toruń, Poland. The installation features a system of 113 water jets that reach heights of up to 5 meters. Its design incorporates 318 RGB LED light points that synchronize with water movements during evening presentations. The fountain utilizes a unique choreography system that matches water flow to a pre-programmed musical score. It serves as a focal point within the Staromiejska Moat, a landscaped urban park area. The water structure is constructed on a circular floor plan, allowing for 360-degree viewing. It operates as an open-air public attraction without physical barriers or seating restrictions. The system requires complex underwater maintenance to ensure the precision of its jet patterns.
