    Beautiful market square in the middle of Budweis, surrounded by arcaded houses with the odd restaurant/café/snack bar. There is a fountain in the middle of the square, and in summer there is a drip cooling system.

      The Samson Fountain in České Budějovice's main square was built between 1721 and 1726. This protected cultural monument is one of the city's landmarks.

      The large shell-shaped basin for collecting the splashing water was carved in one piece from sandstone by stonemason Zacharias Horn (1679–1738) directly from the Besednice quarry near Trhové Sviny (Marktschweinitz). In August 1722, the basin was transported to České Budějovice with great difficulty. To allow it into the city center, the Schweinitz Gate even had to be widened.
