This colonnade shelters several springs, most notably Karolinin pramen (Caroline's Spring). Historically, spas generally centred around mineral water springs or beaches, and Marianske Lazne was of the formal variety. Today, the water is still drinkable, although it's a bit too strong for some people. Some of it is tasty, and some of it not. I'm not an expert on the health benefits, but historically they were taken quite seriously. This colonnade is usually called the 1912 Pavilion.
