The Fish Market Fountain is considered by experts to be the most beautiful Gothic fountain in Switzerland. Once 24 figures adorned the fountain. Fortunately, 22 of them are still preserved today. They are 13 angels, 6 saints and 3 prophets. The three main figures represent Mary with the Child, holding a scepter in her hand, Peter with the key and John the Evangelist. The corner columns represent justice, perseverance and love. The fountain needs regular loving care. The last major renovation was scheduled between 1971 and 1974, when the gilding had to be renewed.
