Кратка информация

The fountain was built in 1888. in the yard of the then school "St. Kliment" (now - Trade High School "G.S. Rakovski"). It is built entirely of stone - local limestone, with a stone trough. It was supplied with cast iron pipes from the Franga Dere area. It had three spouts - from the east, south and west. The fountain is currently connected to the city water supply.

It consists of a plinth, a body and an attic. On the four sides of the body, there are two shallow niches. The lower one has an arched pointed end, with a spout in its lower part. The upper niche is small, rectangular and bears an inscription with the year of construction. The body ends with a plastic cornice. The attic above it is pyramidal, richly profiled and ends with a globe, which, according to the heraldry of the time, symbolized knowledge.

Historically, the site is valuable as it represents a magnificent example of the improvement of the city. Fountains were an essential part of the urban culture of Varna in the 18th and 19th centuries. In terms of urban planning, the fountain is an essential element of the landscaping of the school yard.

During the renovation of the Commercial High School in 2021, the fountain was restored entirely designed by arch. Irina Eftimova.
