Square of Fountains

In the XIX century, a square that named Parapet was founded in the city center, it was also called a Fruitless garden. This square was corresponding with its name entirely, there was even no sign of any bush here. Only a dilapidated pool and that was full of rubbish instead of water. Here in 1905-1907 workers often were holding meetings and gatherings, where they were branding imperial autocracy, were foretelling inevitable destruction of despotism, were calling toilers to arise for their rights.
In 1920 Fruitless garden was renamed into garden named Karl Marks.
The first work on reconstruction of the square was conducted in the fifties, as a result, it changed into a spacious, well planted square connected with small old squares by the Palace of Publication and the House of Library. The square is as if the continuation of the green zone, beginning in the park by the State Philharmonic Society, forth continued with squares named Sabir and Nizami.
The new stage of reconstruction of the garden was realized in 1984. The composition of green plantings was renewed. Fountains form the integral part of the square. Just because of a great number of fountains, it began to be named as a Square of Fountains.
