Romantic place - a city of fountains
Dnepropetrovsk is one of the largest cities of Ukraine , and of course it has a lot of beautiful and interesting attractions. One of the relatively new attractions of Dnepropetrovsk - fountain "White Swan", its peculiarity is that it is a floating structure in the Dnieper river, on the Waterfront.
Light musical fountain "White Swan" reaches a height of 50 meters, and it was opened in 2005. The fountain can rotate and "wave his wings", it is a beautiful sight and a romantic place. Dnepropetrovsk is quite justifiably in recent years called "city of fountains". In the era of his leadership of Dnepropetrovsk, these hydraulic structures were opened in every day of the city. And the head of the city Ivan has received the people love the nickname "Ivan Fontany",to which he was not offended.
"The city on the Dnieper has never sought the glory of the city fountains, in the dusty steppe city, decorative fountains generally considered to be a wonder. In Dnepropetrovsk, during the heyday of the 1970s, the number of fountains reached several dozen. Since the mid-1980s, the number of fountains in service has steadily declined, and in the 1990s some of the city's fountains were simply destroyed.
The trend was reversed only in the early 2000s. Over the past fifteen years in Dnepropetrovsk appeared more than a dozen fountains, a variety of aesthetic appearance and in structural and technological solution.
Now we can state the presence of a certain "fountain tradition". New fountains in Dnepropetrovsk over the past fifteen years opened almost every year, on the Day of the city, which is celebrated on the second weekend of September. The main day of celebrations is Saturday. Thus, most modern urban fountains began their lives on the second Saturday of September.
