        In honor of the Austrian Emperor Franz I, the 29 meter high Kranners Fountain was built in the Gothic architectural style. The sandstone monument has existed since 1850. The monument was created in combination with a fountain by the architect Josef Kranner, whose name the fountain bears today.

          Very nice to look at, surrounded by a small park that invites you to take a break.
          Right on the Vltava and a stone's throw from the Charles Bridge.

              On the square stands a neo-Gothic column decorated with many historical figures. The square is framed by magnificent Art Nouveau houses.

                Krannerova kašna was built in 1844 by architect Josef Kranner and sculptor Josef Max. The fountain consists of a monumental column surrounded by sculptures depicting scenes from Czech history. It is said that the sculptures are so detailed and expressive that it is easy to immerse yourself in their stories.

                An interesting detail of Krannerova kašna is its connection to the famous pianist and composer Clara Schumann. It is said that when she visited Prague, she admired the fountain and even gave a concert in honor of Josef Kranner. Imagine walking along the same spot where one of the greatest musicians in history once lingered!
