The spring "Kaplička" in the city of Sianno is a hydrological monument of nature of local importance. Since ancient times, the water of this spring has been famous for its healing properties.

The spring is located to the south of Lake Sianno, near the house number 8 on Vulica Viciebskaja. By decision of the authorities of the Sianno District in 2011, the "Kaplička" received the status of a hydrological natural monument of local significance. Spring water has always been considered medicinal. 

Back in 1802, the city was visited by the Russian mineralogist and chemist Vasily Severyagin. He noted the healing properties of the spring water, saying that "the water lightens the chest". Until 1937, there was a chapel near the spring, from which the modern name of the spring "Kaplička" came from.

At the end of the 1990s, the local authorities improved the source: reinforced concrete rings were placed, a semicircular building in the form of a chapel was built around them. The water is expelled through a pipe. The boundary of the buffer zone is 42 meters along the perimeter of the source. The total area is 90 square meters. The spring contains a small amount of hydrogen sulfide and selenium.
