Elaborate public fountain with Corinthian columns, built in 1626 by the Venetian governor Rimondi.
Rimondi fountain from the 17th century. A beautiful water fountain from the Venetian occupation. The spring fountain has 3 lion’s heads the water comes out of their mouths.
Pride of place among the many vestiges of Venetian rule goes to this fountain with its spouting lion heads and Corinthian capitals, built in 1626 by city rector Alvise Rimondi. Water spouts from three lions’ heads into three basins flanked by Corinthian columns. Above the central basin you can make out the Rimondi family crest.
