The Singing Fountain is a central feature of Košice's main pedestrian zone, functioning as an interactive water feature that synchronizes fountain jets with classical and contemporary music. The installation includes a complex lighting system that creates colorful displays during evening performances. It serves as a social hub within the State Theatre park, situated directly between the State Theatre and St. Elisabeth Cathedral. The fountain was extensively modernized in 2023 to include interactive elements and enhanced audiovisual capabilities. It remains the largest of its kind in Slovakia.
