The Wrocław Multimedia Fountain (Polish: Wrocławska Fontanna Multimedialna) is a multimedia musical fountain and ornamental pond in Wrocław, of western Poland. The fountain runs only during the summer season, from the last weekend of April or the first weekend of May to late October.

Built in 2009, it is currently one of the largest operating fountains in Europe.

Description

The Wrocław Fountain is located in the historic Wrocław Exhibition Grounds, next to the early modernist Centennial Hall, and encircled within the Wrocław Pergola.

Multimedia show

The 1 hectare (110,000 sq ft) fountain incorporates over 300 jets to create moving-dancing screens of water. They are used, with music and light, by a computerized multimedia program for animated water shows.[1]

The fountain is renowned for its nightly displays. It is illuminated by 800 computer-programmed colored lights.

Ice skating

When frozen in winter, the fountain is drained for a 4,700 square metres (51,000 sq ft) ice skating rink to take some of its space.
