One of my first recollections of Sumy some 7 years ago at this place. Except then I thought it was just a kind of wishing well. I know better now and like it!
It's a monument designed as a well which portrays a bag, or bags, hooked from the bottom of the well (that is my interpretation anyway). An interesting photo stop on a major pedestrian street in Sumy...
The word "Sumy" means bags in Ukrainian. The legend is that a Cossack found three bags of gold along with bank of the Psil River (which runs through the city) and decided to build a fort on that spot...
