The town square in Wels forms the historical and social heart of the city. It is one of the largest and most beautiful market squares in Austria, impressing visitors with its long, gently curving shape and the continuous rows of colorful townhouses from the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Originally, the town square featured two fountains, erected in the 16th century. The upper fountain had a fountain figure created by the Linz sculptor Hans Püchler, depicting a knight with a flag and shield bearing the city's coat of arms. The fountain that stands today opposite the town hall is a replica of the 16th-century Renaissance fountain, which was demolished in 1896.
