Geyser colonnade
Vřídelní kolonáda, Geyser colonadeCzech republic, Karlovy Vary
The guard colonnade in Karlovy Vary was designed and built by the architect Jan Votruba. The modern glass building did not appear immediately; the cast-iron colonnade, built in 1879, was dismantled during the Second World War.
The vrzhidelnaya colonnade in Karlovy Vary divides the flow of water into five pump rooms, the temperature of each of which is different: 72, 57 and 41 degrees. Water intake and water supply are located in the basement of the colonnade, where excursions are organized to get acquainted with the collections of agglomerates and aragonites, ancient water pipes and other interesting processes and objects.
The symbol of the Vrzhidelnaya Colonnade and Karlovy Vary is a geyser. Over the years, the shelter over the geyser has changed many times. The first building in the Baroque style was replaced by an Empire style colonnade, there were also cast-iron and wooden colonnades. The water from this spring is the hottest in the resort (72 degrees), and the ability of the geyser to spew 2,000 liters of water per minute makes it possible to use the spring for filling healing mineral baths. Thanks to this power, the fountain beats from the source to a height of up to 14 meters. However, water from this geyser is also prescribed for drinking purposes in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
