The Colonnades

DSC 4470-Edit-2

Mill Colonnade - a neo-Renaissance stone colonnade with twelve allegorical sandstone statues representing each month of the year. In all five mineral springs rise up in the interior of Karlovy Vary’s biggest colonnade.

Orchard Colonnade - A decorated, fixed, cast-iron colonnade, it is the last remnant of the concert and catering hall called Blanenský Pavilion built in the 1880’s. The Snake Spring rises here and the Orchard Spring is also accessible from the colonnade.

Market Colonnade - A richly carved, wooden colonnade from 1883. In all, three mineral springs rise in the interior of the Market Colonnade: the Charles IV Spring, the Lower Castle Spring and the Market Spring.

Thermal Spring Colonnade - A modern glass-walled colonnade in which Thermal Spring, the most popular Karlovy Vary mineral spring, rises. Here the Thermal Spring geyser shoots to a height of twelve metres. In one minute this geyser pumps out an average of 2000 litres of mineral water at a temperature of 73 °C.
