History
Fountain constructed around 1825, presenting a basin of square form with, at the centre of each face, a semicircular projection. It is at the centre of these circular parts that the weir pipes terminate. This basin is raised by one step. A paving circumscribes the form of the fountain and the step with, at the intersection of the circular and straight parts, stone balls as crash barriers.
