The well at Lilla torg
in Malmö

in Swedish

Fountain by Thure Thörn

The square fountain replaced a long-lost well in 1973. It is a gift from the Malmö Beautification and Planting Associationꜜ and Malmö Sparbank Bikupan.

Please take a look at the reliefs that remind us of the trade of old days on Lilla Torg (IDstory). The square was established in the 1590s as a complement to Stortorget (IDstory).

There is a geocache hidden in the well's vicinity.
