The Maximilians Fountain, also known as Roland Fountain, is a fountain in the centre of the in the Main Square, in Bratislava Old Town.It’s a medium sized fountain with a sculpture of Maximilian II, King of Hungary depicted as a knight and wearing medieval armour. The sculpture stands atop a column in the centre of the fountain and on the column are four sculptures of youthful boys spewing out water from their you know what.The fountain is considered a landmark of the city, but I thought it was a fairly nondescript fountain. Apart from the aforementioned boys and location, the fountain is pretty average.

Whilst not the most awe inspiring fountain youll ever see, its well kept and an important part of Bratislava. If youre in the old town, pop by and have a look.

The place is great and offers lovely views. Of course it is very touristy and everything is on the pricier side. However the locals are friendly and the shopkeepers dont haggle.

An excellent medieval fountain totally ruined by adding another round marble rim. Cannot imagine what kind of barbaric psycho could have approved it.

Oldest standing fountain in the city, it was ordered by Maximilian II, Holy Roman Emperor after a fire in 1563. Major reconstruction in the mid-18th century, outer pool added in 2006. The fountain features in local legends. It is a Slovak National Cultural Monument.

The Roland Fountain (sometimes referred to as Maximilian Fountain; Slovak: Rolandova fontána or Maximiliánova fontánais the most famous fountain in Bratislava, Slovakia, as well as one of the citys important landmarks. It is located in the Old Town, in the Main Square.Its construction was ordered by Maximilian II, the king of Royal Hungary, in 1572 to provide a public water supply. The fountain is topped by a statue of Maximilian portrayed as a knight in full armor sculpted by master A. Lutringer.Its current appearance is probably far from its original look, since it has been modified and rebuilt several times. However its popularity remains unaltered, still being one of the downtowns favorite meeting points. Many legends are centered on this fountain, mostly featuring Maximilian as the towns protector.

Bratislava is a beautiful city, especially the Old town area. The square was pretty with various aged buildings (from ~1300-900s). Vendor market was nearby to find some local crafts and souvenirs.
