FOUR LIONS FOUNTAIN – Sremski Karlovci

FOUR LIONS FOUNTAIN – Sremski Karlovci

The “Four Lions” fountain was erected in 1799 to commemorate the completion of the first municipal water supply system. Following a proposal by the military engineer Wanger, spring water from Čeratski Breg was brought to the town through fired-clay pipes. Originally, the fountain stood somewhat closer to the Magistrate building, but it was later moved to make way for the road leading towards Stražilovo following the construction of the new grammar school.

There is also an interesting story associated with this fountain, one that older residents of Sremski Karlovci often tell their guests: anyone who drinks water from this fountain will one day return to Sremski Karlovci and get married there.
