The renovated and beautified fountain on Mikszáth Kálmán Square was inaugurated in 2014 as the central piece of the square. The inner surface of the fountain was covered with small mosaic stones. The limestone crown edge was cleaned, sanded and coated with a protective layer.

Thirty-eight water jets propelled water into the air in two different modes every 10 minutes. The fountain was equipped with a water circulation system with a chemical dosing system. The circular pool of the ornamental fountain is covered with clinker bricks on the outside and blue tiles on the inside. The rim can be used as a bench.
