The fountain, situated at the main entrance of Sofia's South Park started working on Tuesday after it was out of order for 20 years now.

The renovated facility has been opened by the re-elected mayor Boyko Borisov nad representatives of the investors, who sponsored the renovation.

About BGN 130,000 was invested in the project's realization, performed for almost two months.

The original architecture of the fountain has been kept as all the damaged parts, the installation, the nozzles and the pumps have been replaced.

Hydro isolation with area of 520 square meters and 170 square meters of stone tiling complete the modern appearance of the water facility.

The fountain is controlled through a computer system, which allows the jet rotation and lifting to 12 meters above the ground.

"The fountain, situated at the main entrance of Sofia's South Park started working on Tuesday after it was out of order for 20 years now."

So, there is hope after all...Another 20 years and we might get the street lighting on in our village, or, maybe, even the road paved 8-)

I am full of hope!;)

A few years a go, a new 3 bedroom apartment in the building across, (with the green glass), went for about $50,000.
I think the two story ones were $70,000
I thought that it was way too much for being so far from the center. I wonder what would be the price today....

I've always liked the look of that penthouse maisonette...

Shame they couldn't fix the shattered paving around the fountain, but slowly, slowly I suppose.
