Granite fountain with in the center two pelicans.
A fountain and a sculpture under the same name, Pelicans, were erected in 1978 and reconstructed in 2003. Most passers-by might wonder how such exotic birds as pelicans came to Šiauliai. The story is simple: once upon a time, a pair of pelicans failed to keep pace with the flock. They took a wrong direction and headed north instead of south. When flying over Šiauliai, they landed to quench their thirst with water from a pool. An evil sorceress turned them into stones.
