Fountain of Onofrio

Onofrio's fountain
Croatia, Dubrovnik
The fountain is a large multifaceted stone container with a spherical "cap". And in its faces, architecturally designed branch pipes for flowing water are made. The fountain, built back in 1438 by the Italian Onofrio, is famous for the fact that in those years when only rainwater was used for water supply in the cities of the Adriatic coast, it was decided in Dubrovnik to run a water pipeline to the city from a drinking water source located 12 km from the city. In addition to the Great Fountain, Onofrio built several other water-collecting fountains in Dubrovnik.

In the distant past, the Onofrio Fountain supplied Dubrovnik with water from the purest mountain spring, using an aqueduct connected to it. Water for him is taken from the river with the cute name Dubrovochka : ) And now on a hot summer day you can quench your thirst here. It is also worth noting that the fountain at night is beautifully illuminated and this place becomes very romantic.
