Monument Fountain

The Bahkauv, a monstrous creature, hungrily waits for his next victim.



There used to be a spring here, which was created by the run-off from the hot springs of the market. During the day, it was used as a place to wash clothes by young girls and poor people. However according to the legend, at night, when drunken men made their way homewards, their shouts awakened the sleeping Bahkauv monster. It jumped onto the shoulders of the terrified men, robbing them of every last cent they had left in their pockets. A good excuse for explaining the loss of their money to the women waiting for them back home.
