General information about Turkish Well Square Complex (Chernivtsi)

The cozy Turkish Well (Turetska Krynytsya) Square is a new landmark of Chernivtsi, emphasizing the multi-ethnicity of the city.

In the 17th century, a Turkish community lived in this area of the Lower City, immediately outside the city walls. Next to the old wooden well, the Turks built a stone fountain. From time immemorial, there was a city bath here, which operated even in Soviet times.

The ensemble of the square consists of the Turkish bridge (XIX century), a restored oriental-style pavilion above the spring, and a round arcade with a fountain. The decoration of the square is a flower clock, opened in 2008.

In 2009, during Blacksmiths' Day, a forged bicycle was installed on the square. Ancient houses around the perimeter continue to be restored.

Затишна площа Турецької Криниці - нова визначна пам'ятка Чернівців, що наголошує на поліетнічності міста.

В XVII сторіччі в цьому районі Нижнього міста, одразу за міськими стінами, жила турецька громада. Поряд зі старою дерев'яною криницею турки збудували кам'яний фонтан. З давніх-давен тут знаходилася міська лазня, яка діяла і в радянські часи.

Ансамбль площі становлять Турецький міст (XIX століття), відновлений над джерелом павільйон у східному стилі, кругла аркада з фонтаном. Окрасою площі є відкритий у 2008 році квітковий годинник.

В 2009 році, під час Дня ковалів, на площі встановили кований велосипед. Старовинні будинки по периметру продовжують реставрувати.

Площа Турецька Криниця особливо гарна при вечірньому підсвічуванні.
