Pilsen’s Golden Fountains

By Linda Tancs

Of medieval origin, Republic Square forms the very center of the Czech city of Pilsen. Not so medieval are its three gilded fountains. Fashioned to represent a greyhound, a camel and an angel, they represent motifs from the city’s coat of arms. You’ll find them near St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral, another landmark in the city.
