Uprostred Žižkova námestí se vyjímá kašna zhotovená v letech 1567-1568 kamenickým mistrem Ondrejem ze Sušice. Kašna tvorila soucást systému zásobování mesta vodou.

Uprostred nádrže na sloupku s korintskou hlavicí byla umístena plastika rytíre, která symbolizuje tržní práva mesta. Místní tradice pojmenovala rytíre Koudela ci Koudelka, snad podle jednoho z husitských hejtmanu. V ruce držel rytír prapor na znamení, že se ve meste koná trh.

The Renaissance Fountain on Žižka square
Nobody can overlook the fountain in the middle of Zizka Square. It was chiselled by the stonemason Martin of Susice between the years 1567 and 1568. The fountain was a part of the system that supplied the town with water.

In the middle of the fountain on a little column with a Corinthian head there is a sculpture of a knight which symbolizes the market privileges of the town. According to a legend, the knight is called Koudela or Koudelka, probably after a Hussite captain. The knight is holding a banner in his hand to show that there was a market in the town.
