Cette fontaine a ete commande par la compagnie des eaux de porto en 1886 et construite par Conçue par le sculpteur français Charles Lebourg. L'objectif a cette époque était d'améliorer l’accès à l’eau potable dans ce quartier de porto. Les lions en bronze sont orientés vers les 4 points cardinaux. Chaque lions arbore un bouclier avec les armoiries de porto. Ces armoiries represente la résilience de ville.

Me llamo mucho la atención esta fuente, sobre todo por el color verde muy vivo… la plaza es muy bonita, en ella están las letras de Porto

This is a very iconic sight in the centre of Porto as it was the inspiration for Harry Potter and an ideal place for meeting with people.
