Ljubljana - Herkulov vodnjak

The fountain formerly stood in front of the Jesuit gymnasium on Levstikov trg. In 1660, a temporary wooden statuette by Tolmesinger was added to it, which was replaced in 1675 by the stalue of the Greek hero Hercules by Komersteiner. The statue, together with the renaissance fountain, was in 1775 moved to the park of Eberg's mansion in Dol. This original is now in the entrance hall of the Magistrat. In 1991 a copy was made by the architect, Marko Mušič, the sculptor Julijan Renko and the stone Boris Udovič and placed on Gornji trg.

Dan se za dnevom vrsti,
za leti vrstijo se let,
voda pa v loku ves čas
iskro z vodnjaka curlja
Spomni se kdor mimo greš
kot voda odteka ſivljenje,
dokler je čas, ga v dlani
hlastno zajemaj in pij!

janez menart

Day to day line,
for years they lined the years,
water in an arc of continuously
a spark from the fountain trickles
Remember anyone go past
as the water flows of life,
until the time it in hands
hastily capture and drink!

Janez Menart
