Description
The fountain was designed by Nicolau Nasoni.
The fountain was built in 1738, as shown in the engraving visible at the top, and predates the current Sanctuary. The stonework altarpiece is very well designed and has two spouts that spout water uninterruptedly, and there is no memory of them ever running dry.
At the top is a cross adorned on the side by two fleurs-de-lis. Underneath and in the center stands a smooth oval-shaped panel where, according to some records, there were once inscriptions in golden letters.
This fountain was moved to this spot from the churchyard of the old chapel built by Bishop Manuel de Noronha and the water comes from two mines located above the park.
