History
Piscina at a lower level than the surrounding parts. Backing wall with niche and two pilasters or balusters in front, supporting a triangular pediment in masonry. A cross dominates the pediment. The old statue has been replaced by a bishop saint in cast iron. The fountain is found at the centre of four steps allowing access to the piscina.
