Ventspils' “Lielais laukums” (Great Square) constitutes a new symbol and centre of the city. Its design concept offers a modern and comfortable environment for both leisure and celebrations of important events. The dynamic design and terrain of the square has been inspired by the artistic synergy of water and wind. The design emphasis is placed on the “Fregate VALZIVS” fountain. The sculptural outline of the fountain depicts the effigy of Duke Jacob’s frigate Wallfisch, which was built in the Ventspils shipyard in 1644, translating the configuration of its masts and superstructure into a modern object of the urban environment. The fountain's varied water programme, spacious basin and nighttime illumination create a visually attractive and dynamic image of the square.
