Solothurn Fountains

Solothurn has a thing about the number 11. The local beer has a large 11 on the label, there are 11 churches, 11 bells in the cathedral, and landings every 11 steps on the stairs. There are also 11 fountains scattered through the small city's squares, each depicting a saint or figure from the local mythology. They do still pump a trickle of water, though I never saw anyone other than me using them (bad idea or no, it was 30 degrees and even a slice of pizza and a coke cost about 15 quid).
