Fountain sculpture by Pavel Roučka, 2007
Na Poříčí, Nové Město
Prague, September 2024
“The Palladium shopping centre was opened to the public on 25 October 2007 after a two-year reconstruction of the former barracks. Pavel Roučka created a fountain sculpture for the small courtyard adjacent to the buildings at the Church of St. Joseph, which opens onto Na Poříčí Street. Its appearance is inspired by the rough stone masonry of the adjacent wall from the 17th century and horse troughs from the 19th century. This created an interesting water cascade, complemented by a modern sheet metal plate, over which the water flows into the sewer grate. On the adjacent reconstructed wall, the artist created a bas-relief with the motif of a horse's head.” (Fountain sculpture in the Equestrian Courtyard of the Palladium Shopping Center, Pražské kašny a fontány)
