The Bucharest fountains in Unirii Square were reopened in 2018, after an extensive rehabilitation process implemented by Apa Nova, based on the obligations assumed by the Concession Agreement with the City Hall, quickly becoming one of the most important points of attraction of the Capital.

These are the first urban fountains to benefit from state-of-the-art equipment and technology at European standards in terms of water entertainment, some elements being unique in Europe, the fully digital monitored system now allowing control of any individual unit of the 44 independent fountains on a total length of almost 1.4 kilometers along Unirii Boulevard.

The fountains in Unirii Square, built in the late ’80s, were recognized, approved and awarded in 2019 as the Longest Row of Synchronized Choreographic Fountains in the World, by the World Record Academy, with a water surface of 16,200 m² , the fountains being also unique by their arrangement in the center of the Capital.
