    The Five Wells Square (Trg Pet Bunara) is located in the historic old town of Zadar next to the city gate (Kopnena Vrata). It was built in 1574 together with the cistern underneath according to the plans of the builder Samicheli, in order to secure the water supply even in the event of a permanent siege of the city. It owes its name to the row of fountains in its center. The water was led directly from Lake Vrana into the cistern via an aqueduct. The five wells supplied Zadar with water until the end of the 19th century. In the first half of the 19th century, when there was no longer any danger of war, the square was redesigned into a park.

      Place of the 5 wells - here is also the pentagonal tower of the city guard.

        Enter the city gate and then up a small staircase on the right to get to the Fountain Square in Zadar, which is also called Five Wells Square. Erected in 1574. The cisterns under the fountains supplied the city with water until the first half of the 19th century! Highly recommended with many historical buildings and relics.
