The competition for the design and execution of a fountain in the western section of Town Square (Rynek) in Wrocław was announced in 1996. From the submitted 35 designs, the proposal presented by the team of Alojzy Gryt, Marcin Gryt and Beata Gryt-Tomaszewska, has been selected. The winning design's underlying idea has been to integrate the present with the past and the future, to satisfy modern needs and define meaningful relations between tradition and the time to come.
