Fountain on Księdza Prałata Jana Gustkowicza Square

Dimensions: square with the side length of 6.4 m

Object: The square-shaped fountain is “built” into the square (at ground level) and lined with black granite, with eight embedded nozzles with closed circulation and a maximum water jet height of 1.5 m.

Place: The centre of Gustkowicza Square. This square is the second (after Wolności Square) relatively carefully formed, rectangular urban interior of a square that leads towards the Nowy Port street grid. It is worth noting that the direction of the square’s eastern frontage, which continues into Rybołowców Street, leads towards the Monument to the Defenders of the Coast at Westerplatte on the other side of the Dead Vistula River, which forms the waterway entrance to the port.
