Swansea Castle Square is known for its unusual Bloody fountain. This is quite a common fountain, though pretty significant in size. It owes its frightening name to an annual event. Every year on 1 March, local residents celebrate St. David's Day. The water in the fountain is dyed red on this day. Such blood water remains until 9 March. It is a truly spectacular sight all along. Such an unusual event aims to draw public attention to such a common disease as hemophilia. Some 2000 individuals suffer from cancer of the blood in the UK.
